Video: Audi A6 ‘My dad’s an Alien’ commercial makes us laugh

BestCarEver — Wed, 16 May 2012 15:32:15 +0000

Audi has dropped a new commercial called ‘Alien.’
“In ‘Alien’ viewers are transported into the world of a child who misunderstands her dad’s looks, actions and most notably all of the technological innovations inside the Audi A6 as proof that he is a space alien.” Audi said in a statement.
If the Audi A6 is a spaceship, then the S6 must be a faster spaceship… hmm.
Check out the video after the jump.

Our Planet, Lit Image by Craig Mayhew and Robert Simmon, NASA GSFC.
The search for extraterrestrial life elsewhere in our universe has taken many forms, from the radio signal searching undertaken by SETI to the rovers and probes deployed elsewhere in our universe. But if it’s intelligent civilizations we’re looking for, say a couple of Harvard and Princeton researchers, we can likely find them just by literally looking for them. Alien civilizations that evolved in the light from their own stars would li…

The Search Is On Nick KaloterakisNew missions and discoveries on Earth, within our solar system and beyond are bringing us closer than ever to finding alien life on other planets
“The genesis of life is as inevitable as the formation of atoms,” is how Andrei Finkelstein, the director of the Russian Academy of Sciences’s Applied Astronomy Institute, explained his ambitious timeline for finding alien life to an audience of astrobiologists and reporters in June. “There is life on other planets, and we will…

TiME This capsule designed to explore Titan’s seas is one of three projects being considered to receive NASA funding next year. Graham Murdoch
In 2006, while flying by Saturn’s moon Titan, the radar on NASA’s Cassini orbiter discovered seas of liquid ethane and methane on the moon’s -300ºF surface, the only bodies of liquid we know of that exist anywhere but on Earth. Some of the oily seas appeared on Cassini’s radar to be larger than Lake Superior, but visibility was poor because Titan’s atmosphere is …

Alien Microbe Fossils? This tube, found in a meteorite that fell to Earth in 1864, is similar in size and shape to the giant bacterium Titanospirillum velox. A NASA astrobiologist claims it is the remains of an alien microbe. His claim is controversial, to say the least. R. Hoover/Journal of CosmologyThe jury is still out, but skepticism permeates the scientific community
Did a NASA scientist find fossilized alien microbes embedded in a 146-year-old meteorite? As this claim emerged over the weekend, the…

An ‘Ion Funnel’ Could Help Future Mars Missions Identify Signs of Alien Life

BestCarEver — Fri, 11 Feb 2011 09:37:02 +0000

The Mars Curiosity Rover NASA/JPL-Caltech
Tapping a bit of frat-boy ingenuity, researchers at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Lab (JPL) have devised a new way for an old space exploration instrument to suck down large volumes of vaporized particles and analyze rocks for their compositions using an ion funnel, a process that could speed analysis, lighten instrument loads, and improve the odds of finding signs of life.
Mass spectrometry is an old space standby–the Mars Science Laboratory, launching in November, wi…

The Retrieval of Hayabusa JAXA
Promising but ambiguous news out of Japan this morning: researchers inspecting the asteroid dust from JAXA’s the Hyabusa mission – the seven-year round trip that landed a probe on a passing asteroid before returning to Earth – have found particles that could contain signs of extraterrestrial life.
The particles are still being analyzed, but analysis by electronic microscopes has revealed the particles possess characteristics that differentiate them from the dust and alumin…

What Killed the Mammoths? Alien Nanodiamonds May Hold the Answer

Wooly Mammoth Did nanodiamonds mean death for this mammoth and all his friends? Depends on which study you believe. Wikimedia Commons
Do nanodiamonds prove an asteroid impact killed off North America’s massive mammals 13,000 years ago? It depends on which scientist you ask.
A pair of studies published in the last month offer competing theories about whether an extraterrestrial object killed megafauna like woolly mammoths and sabre-toothed cats, along with the Clovis culture of North American human settl…
