First space Hi-Jacking?

Post by Squirt »

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/science/spac ... xpert.html
Hartwig Hausdorf, a German academic, believes that the reason Voyager 2, an unmanned probe that has been in space since 1977, is sending strange messages that are confusing scientists, is because it has been taken over by extraterrestrial life.

Since its launch, Voyager 2 has been sending streams of data back to Earth for study by scientists, but on April 22, 2010, that stream of information suddenly changed.
Nasa claimed that a software problem with the flight data system was the cause but Mr Hausdorf believes it could be the work of aliens.

This is because all other parts of the spacecraft appear to be functioning fine.

He told the German newspaper Bild: "It seems almost as if someone has reprogrammed or hijacked the probe – thus perhaps we do not yet know the whole truth.”

Voyager 2 carries a disk with greetings in 55 languages on it in case the craft encounters other life forms.

Dr Edward Stone, a scientist on the project, said the desk, called the Golden Record, is "a kind of time capsule, intended to communicate a story of our world to extraterrestrials.

"The Voyager message is carried by a phonograph record-a 12-inch gold-plated copper disk containing sounds and images selected to portray the diversity of life and culture on Earth."

Aliens, ha. The people who believe in those are the same people who believe God actually exists. Also known as Morons.

Well scientists done tests using samples which have shown that bacteria or some other similar organisms are present on mars.
So If that life is present then why not other forms?

Not 100% true.
Obviously god doesn't exist, but aliens are a possibility. However, we would never find them, as it would take too long, and plenty of other problems with physics etc. Watch into the universe with Stephen Hawking, and he does like a mathematical proof of extraterrestrial life possibly existing.
Whoever believes in aliens with like ray guns that go pew pew are moronic however.

Yea there was a formula someone made on finding the probablity of aliens, had something to do with how long civilizations last and stuff.

I think other life Exists. There's no logic in believing that out of ALL the solar systems in the universe, there isn't another that holds intelligent Life. Maybe they are thinking the same thing.

well, the universe is almost 14 billions yrs old, and humanity's evolution up to this point has only been a couple thousand years. if there were intelligent life out there, i think it's possible they would've died out long before we were sending out radio signals.

it's depressing to think about, even with all the solar systems in all the galaxies, there's still this problem of the 14 billion years for sentient species to evolve and then maybe die out.
