Don't get me wrong, I'm all for NASA, it should get it's budget increased by x20 if you ask me, bit they didn't find alien life or anything remotely to it.

Not until there is actual evidence.

This isn't the first time that ALIENS is being screamed from NASA and it's getting annoying. Last time it was from Venus, a planet famous for a number of things, one of them being it having a lack of Hydrogen, making anything alive pretty much impossible. After the fanfare of some chemical components that "could only be created by alien microbial life!" it was just ignored because of course it wasn't alien life.

This too will just quietly be ignored, it seems to be a desperate gasp for breath as their budget slowly gets cut to zero.

Is NASA the one screaming AlIeNs!1 or is it shitrags like Business Insider taking 'maybe we found some microbes' and turning it into AlIeNs!1?

Nasa has made more than one shady headline about aliens themselves

No, what’s annoying is people willfully misreading the science being published here. NASA does not claim to find alien life, they claimed to find an interesting rock with an unknown formation process consistent with microbial life in Earth rocks. People like the article writer vastly overstate what NASA is claiming.

I refuse to believe that we are the only living beings in the entire universe.

Oh I didn't say we aren't. I'm sure there are aliens.

I'm just saying that all these "ALIENS!" headliners from Nasa are bullshit
