Modifying Drake Equation To Accommodate For Intersteller Messaging And Outfitting The Curiosity Rover

Welcome! "Alien Life" tracks the latest discoveries and thoughts in the various elements of the famous Drake Equation. Here's today's news:

g MESSAGE - Should we modify the Drake Equation to account for civilizations which actually engage in deliberate interstellar transmission? See article.

g COSMICUS - NASA's Curiosity rover - part of the upcoming Mars Science Laboratory mission - has been outfitted with an onboard X-Ray instrument that will help scientists determine if Mars was once habitable for life. The mission is currently scheduled for launch in late 2011. See article.

g AFTERMATH - As we look toward exploring other worlds, and perhaps even bringing samples back to Earth for testing, astrobiologists have to wonder: could there be alien pathogens in those samples that will wreak havoc on our world? See article.
