2 mentions so far! One of the astronauts Christina Koch said luna missions could help determine if we are alone in the universe: https://www.reuters.com/video/watch/idRW843029032026RP1/. And then NASA chief Jared Isaacman says odds of evidence we are not alone are ‘pretty high’ four days after Artemis II rocket lifted off: https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026/apr/05/alien-life-nasa-jared-isaacman-artemis-ii?CMP=Share_AndroidApp_Other. I thought NASA spaces missions were always mainly about preparing for eventual human colonisation of space. This feels a bit left field and different from their past rhetoric about moon missions. Are they building up to something? Is this part of slow disclosure? submitted by /u/DoughnutFront2451 [link] [comments]
