What’s new in space?

Extraterrestrial dinosaurs, life on Mars and more

Speculation that NASA may have found life on Mars

A reanalysis of some data by NASA shows that there could be life on Mars. But this new analysis does not come without its own share of problems. The data from 36 years ago has been looked at in a different way to conclude that there may be have been biological activity rather than just the geological activity that it had originally pointed to. But this new way of looking at the data has to be proved to be useful and this is the issue.

Elon Musk’s latest foray into space

If you have been reading this blog for some time, I am guessing you have heard of the billionaire entrepreneur Elon Musk who is the Chief Technology Officer at the space transport company SpaceX.

Musk who started his illustrious entrepreneurial career by building, operating and then selling the worldwide e-commerce business PayPal. He is now launching his Dragon spaceship on April 30 that will dock with the International Space Station.

The Dinosaurs may not be extinct after all!

One thing about outer space and the universe is that anything is possible. There has actually been speculation by Columbia University chemist Ronald Breslow that there could be extraterrestrial dinosaurs. He hinted at this at the end of his very informative paper and I don’t think it is incredulous. I do have an open mind about these sorts of things. After, all I am the space junkie that loves the History Channel television show called Ancient Aliens.

The dinosaurs would be advanced, but us humans do not have to worry as they will not be able to metabolize Earthlings’ flesh if they happen to find this planet.  

 

I guess it has been a pretty exciting week on the space report.
