NASA Announces Wednesday Media Teleconference About Search For Extraterrestrial Life
"NASA will hold a news media teleconference at 1:30 p.m. EDT, Wednesday, April 28, to discuss the status of agency-sponsored astrobiology research, including the search for evidence of extraterrestrial life and the study of how life began on Earth. Topics also will include the quest for evidence of life on Mars, the habitability of other celestial bodies, and future technology research."
Keith's note: I just love it when PAO waits until the last minute to announce something that it could have announced days in advance. And then they wonder why the media doesn't cover things such as this. "Avatar", an Astrobiology-themed movie, has earned more than $2 billion thus far. Clearly the public really digs Astrobiology. As such, NASA's shyness with regard to promoting its Astrobiology research is even more baffling.

Really? Clearly???? I would beg to differ with your conclusion, as a more scientific approach could lead to a host of other conclusions. Maybe it is blue, cat-like creatures that the piblic really digs? Or maybe it is just a love story that the public really digs? Or maybe, just maybe, it is the unprecedented visual effects that the public really digs, especially since the basic story has been told over and over again.
