Years Of Early Alien-Hunting Data Are At Risk Of Being Lost Forever - Motherboard

There's a lot of nostalgia in Becky Ferreira's article, but she doesn't mention how much data could be lost that hasn't already been crunched by SETI@home over the past two decades. Still it's an interesting insight on an early internet phenomenon aligning with our own sweet science. If there is unreviewed data which will be lost, Evan Lewis recommends Looking For Alien "Lighthouses" In The Stars, a remarkable innovation in terms of cost for us and the putative aliens. Not to mention how such signals should be easy to spy. If there are aliens... but why shouldn't there be? Over at Mind Matters News it's argued Earth's Weirdest Life Forms Show That E.T. Life Is Possible. There's a lot more here than mere extremophiles to illustrate the sheer diversity of life on Earth, suggesting the mind-boggling possibilities lurking in the depths of the cosmos. Need some proof? Welp turns out a Key Substance For Life Found In Japan Probe's Asteroid Samples. Basically amino acids necessary for building proteins. While there might not be a wagyu steak on the asteroid Ryugu, this discovery lends itself to the hypothesis behind panspermia. (CS)
