WASHINGTON -- NASA will hold a news conference at 2 p.m. EST on Thursday, Dec. 2, to discuss an astrobiology finding that will impact the search for evidence of extraterrestrial life. Astrobiology is the study of the origin, evolution, distribution and future of life in the universe.
The news conference will be held at the NASA Headquarters auditorium at 300 E St. SW, in Washington. It will be broadcast live on NASA Television and streamed on the agency's website at http://www.nasa.gov.

To NASA, evidence of extraterrestrial life is 4 billion years dead single celled organisms. Hardly relevant.
If NASA comes up with footage of 15m tall lizards fishing for catfish on the shores of Titan's liquid methane lakes, I'll be impressed. Not impressed by NASA, but by the lizards who are stout enough to hunt and fish in -170 degree celsius temperatures.
Still, imaging living on Titan and watching Saturn rise over the horizon every morning. Or, rather, every 15 days or so?
