Astronomer proves life in outer space.

This is real, a visit to the link will prove it.

A Dutch astronomer has photographed a known living being in outer space.  This has never been done before.  Find proof at this link, (a government-sponsored web site assoicated with NASA).

AB, I think you're repeating yourself.

Nope.  Previous entry was a NASA photo of an alien robotic spacecraft on Mars.  (NASA still stands by that explanantion, BTW.)  This is different, and shows an actual known-to-be living being.  This living being actually orbited near earth.

Well, maybe we should discuss this.  We really need to come up with a Clinton-esque definition of "alien".  I would think that would have to at least incorporate the concept that the being would have to be outside the gravitational pull of their home planet before being considered alien.  The being in the photograph is clearly within the gravitational pull of their home planet, so cannot be considered "alien".  Now, if they were to travel to their moon, escaping the gravitational field of their home planet, they would then become "alien".  As far as your former post, who is to say the craft was not inhabited?  There is no way to determine that from looking at the photograph.

If you are talking about the being in the first photograph, I never called hte living being an "alien."

Ah, you are correct that there is no way to know from the photograph.  But you don't really think that photograph is the only evidence NASA has, do you?

We need to understand "Clinton-esque" here.  The fact that you made the post in the first place indicates that you believe this to be an unusual occurence.  Why would the discovery of a non-alien be noteworthy?  Therefore, you must be posting about an alien in outer space.

I do not believe NASA has the capablilty to PROVE it was uninhabited.  Even if they could, it may have been uninhabited at the moment the photo was taken.  They may have been out shopping for supplies.  The photo was probably cropped and doctored to eliminate evidence of the WalMart next door.  Why else would they park a spacecraft in that spot?

I take exception to the term "Clinton-esque" in this case.  We are talking about the meaning of the word "alien," not the meaning of the word "is."

No, again.  Perhaps it is the outer space that is alien; I have, in fact, heard that outer space is an "alien and hostile place."  Unless, by some means, visiting an alien place makes one an alien.

They may be explorers.  In that case, they may have driven to that place to see if there were WalMarts there.  In their determination, they did not realize that they had gone past Minnesota (where the last civilized thing exists before utter wilderness); and so they continued until they ran out of gas.

I say this, however, believing there were no aliens in the spacecraft.  I suspect this because I believe NASA has actually communicated with the spacecraft, and the only response they get is "whriswallmrt...whriswallmrt...whriswallmrt"
