NASA To Have A BIG Announcement On November 13th!!

reply to post by AbleEndangered


LMAO I love Chapelle, sure miss the show.

You're right about the "Ginormous NASA Announcement Eminent!!!!!!!!!!!" threads that turn out to be traces of something that might maybe mean that there might maybe be a possibility that life might maybe be or have existed on a planet/moon...

I say it's just the usual, but we'll see. Would be awesome if it were for real and it was something like "Warp drive proven feasible now" or "Alien Life Confirmed (and they don't want to kill us)" or something.

maybe all Alien files will be released by NASA because I've joined the conspiracy

The big announcement is that there are kligons circling around Uranus

They found microbial life in the Martian water extracted from Martian soil. No biggie really, we all know life is abundant in space already.

i replied in another thread, but here it is in the bigger thread.


I had to reply because, this isn't some sort of hoax to get email addresses. It is something called an ARG or Alternate Reality Game. They are used for everything from fun to viral marketing. It is a game. Now I havent confirmed this over at the ARG site I use but the whois data is the same for many many ARG's to protect people, called puppetmasters, from getting hacked or inundated with emails asking for help. For more about ARG's in general Check Unfiction

My guess is that this has something to do with the new space movie coming out - Gravity.

But anyway, according to my ARG buddies at work, this one is viral marketing for something, the countdown is for the game/marketing to start. When the clock runs out, you will most likely have to scour the page for clues in anything from the coding, to messages hidden in sound files, to the lamer versions that give you direct links to everything.


A friend at an arg site thinks its for this tv show, could be? show


If you have never played an ARG, check out the site above. I have a few highly recommended ones that are now over that people can go through the topic to get an idea of how they work. Just message me if you want some links. I was even a puppetmaster in a few a long time ago when I still had time. Anyway, if you entered your email, don't stress, you will probably get a few odd messages from whoever is running the game but thats it.

The dates been changed to the 6th folks if nobody has said this already.

The biggest & best announcement NASA could make is that they are no longer going to be ran by the government

Then who would they be ran by?

I already know, that I will be disappointed somehow... even though I think if this is not officialy from NASA, the person behind it could get sued for impersonating the NASA.
I think this is not an official site, since they would not be able to make a statement during shutdown, if it is real NASA and they get the allowance it must be something big.
And if this is real NASA and is something big I go for: Mars had life once and emmigrated to earth and we are of Marsian origin

I wouldnt be surprised if all your pcs have been turned into zombies or something by clicking the link.. According to my bitdefender it says its unsafe

nope, checked everything. No possible way. I checked all _javascripts that are executed by this site, nothing malicious.
Also nothing got loaded into the memory of my pc.

edit: I just want to make sure, that I would not recommend to enter an email adress there. Probably just a phishing site and possible the reason it got flagged. Btw. I would also recommend to only visit it with _javascripted turned off when they announce whatever they want to announce, since they might activate some java drive by then.

Isn't fraud to use a government symbol like they do in this weird add? If NASA had a announcement, it would be on their official web site, or scheduled. It would be a week or two in advance, not a month.

*reopened*

I dont get my hopes up over these things anymore. It will probably be something like "we found dried sulfates under a rock on Mars which proves there was water under that rock once" or something like that. Earth shattering to a scientist who is going to write a groundbreaking paper and get published, not Earth shattering to the average person. If they find a starship crashed on one Saturn's moons, or get a signal from Arcturus, THAT'S Earth shattering. But if something like that happened, I doubt they would even tell us.

wouldn't NASA have a problem with their logo and name being used for a scam?

Foxnews.com already announced it today... first words of top story.

Collision Course.



I know I know... but I found it funny.

Marketing campaign?? Spot the difference...

Perhaps with the government shutdown (which includes much of NASA), there aren't enough people to enforce trademark infractions.
