    Maybe they can name it after a color and a way to bind paper.

    Nice, it’ll be settled once and for all then. Just like last time.

    I suspect they’ll tell us one of these three:

    • There’s no sign of intelligent life outside of earth but we’ve found traces that could indicate previous microbial life in space. Just like last time we told you.
    • We’ve found aliens since the last time we talked publicly about this but forgot to tell you.
    • We knew and lied all along.

    I think I know what they’ll say.

      We knew and lied all along.

      I’ll go ahead and rule this one out. Even if this were a true statement, I don’t recall a government agency ever admitting fault.

    Hopeful. Would be nice if the people around him didn’t smirk, smile, and laugh when he says “aliens”

      I’m expecting “no evidence”. I believe I’ve said this in another comment, but it seems like NASA is lining itself with The Pentagon and AARO in regards to their messaging.
