seems like every month they come out with a revolutionary peice of technology in the search for alien planets. If your interested, like i am, i look at ScienceDaily.com... daily. its a really good website with tons of interesting articles... but more uninteresting ones. But, that sort of adds to the credibility to me, as they cover the entire world of science as opposed to just pseudoscience

Well, more propaganda from NASA and "scentists" claiming to be searching for life on other planets. Obviously they already know this and this is just part of the civilian cover up program.

Man I hope the French actually come through with their disclosure project. I'm not holding my breath, but it would be nice.

The tether snapped because it developed a short circuit. Your right about the 'debris' It's not debris. They are definately UFO's!!

It's easy if the debris is affected by a thruster firing or if spacecraft is doing a small translation maneuver; in the latter case it appears like the debris is moving while it's actually the spaceship that is moving, but because earth is so far away you can't tell any perceptible difference in the motion of the planet with respect to the spacecraft. As for the debris in the tether video, it's plainly obvious that it's much closer to the lens of the camera than the tether is, which is why they're all the same shape; they're badly out of focus because they're too close to the camera. The funny shape is the reflection of the camera's optics, I get the same effect in my telescope all the time whenever a tiny point of light is out of focus.

I thought my post was incredibly calm. Komodo's, on the other hand, seems to be full of exclamation points, caps, and reads somewhat angry or at least annoyed. I'm surprised you didn't see the irony in your own statement.

Back on course, please...

Scientists are using the transmission spectrum of our planet as a comparison to search for life on exoplanets. This method will be used to observe planets that are being located through various exoplanet surveys .

Good find, but to say this practice makes it easier is a bit of a stretch since we have never identified life on other planets. I think you first have to confirm that it exists somewhere else before figuring out which methods are easier than others. Until we can confirm life on other planets, it's all impossible.
