Uh oh. Are we the aliens we've been looking for?

According to Horizon (on now), we could all be the aliens SETI@home has been looking for. :eek:

Oh well, that's the end of that then.

False alarm. Seems they got my hopes up too early.

Yup, big headline grabbing first 30 seconds, then it turned into nothing but bacteria. Oh, and for those who were watching, the Europa mission might never happen (last I heard it was on the line for being cut, so it may have gone already by now).

Panorama > Horizon tbh.

Panorama used to be the political deep thought-provoking thing, and Horizon the science one. Now Panorama seems to delve into science a little (but not much), and Horizon has gone low-brow.

It all started with the demise of Tomorrows World.

Indeed it was. Oddly, I'd never heard about that before, so I did learn at least a few new things, even if it was dumbed-down science.

Yeah, that was a classic. Given how long it lasted, a constant stream of meteors and bats would have been required.

Unless someone was trialing some new bat WMD.

i think dulux were secretly trying to dump all their old stock of red paint

I thought they gave it all to Sony to blast at soon-to-be-demolished houses in Glasgow. Although, since the red rain was in 2001, they probably did both.
