I would celebrate Festivus, but there is ample evidence that Frank Costanza is just a fictional character.

On a bulletin board recently, someone stated that alien abductions were quite real, and that they were here to harvest our “genetic material,” whatever that means. Here’s my reply:
Well, here we have a civilization far more advanced than we are (able to travel between the stars in a reasonable amount of time,) and you claim they’re here to harvest our genetic material. This requires specially-equipped ships, probably a base in-system somewhere, and hundreds of highly trained individuals willing to treat another sentient species as cattle.
I also note that your alien civilization seems to act exactly as if they were the worst of Humanity.
And yet, we’re perhaps decades (or less) away from being able to efficiently move atoms around with nanotechnology. We will no doubt develop this ability long before we’re able to get to even the nearest star. We’ll be able to create and manipulate molecules (like DNA) on a massive scale.
So this alien race has decided to do it “the hard way?” Rather than just get a couple of samples from us and manipulate to their heart’s content, they feel the need to get millions of samples and to keep getting them over decades.
I would say that your idea is the product of an active imagination, but really, it’s the product of a lack of imagination. You see a phenomenon and you come up with a reason for it that fits your cynical world view. You don’t stop to think that maybe sentient beings from another planet might not act like Wall Street brokers, and that if you’re going to ascribe “magic” levels of science to them, you have to ascribe it to ALL of their sciences, not just spaceship design.
So which is more likely? That many people have alien-like sleep paralysis experiences, a number of hypnotherapists have no idea what they’re doing, and PR firms for certain Hollywood movies promote anything that will raise interest in their client’s product, – or – , that a super-advanced race (in every field but one) is abducting millions of people because they need…? Material?

On this day 52 years ago, Laika (Russian for “barker”) was launched into space aboard Sputnik 2, the second satellite ever sent into space by Humans. At the time, there was no way to return her to Earth, so the Soviets had stored some poisoned food aboard, which her automatic feeder would dispense after 10 days in orbit. But Laika died only a few hours after reaching orbit. The hastily-built ship’s thermal controls malfunctioned and she succumbed to high heat in the cockpit. The Soviets would gamble and succeed many times in the early space race. Laika was not so lucky. But she was the first living creature to venture beyond Earth. Spare a thought for this poor little pioneer.
Rumors swirled this week that a photo from Michael Jackson’s autopsy had been leaked. Through our exclusive connections here at Klog, we were able to obtain…
Wow. I am absolutely amazed at the number of soft, information-free stories that have circulated about the LCROSS satellite hitting the Moon. Let me throw out a couple of quick paragraphs to help my friends:
“Bombing.” No. We did not “bomb” the Moon. We did not use the Moon for some sort of military purpose or target practice. Here’s what happened.
About four years ago, NASA was finalizing the design a of a probe called the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter. The purpose of this probe was to go into orbit around the Moon and take high-resolution pictures of the entire surface. (Here’s one showing the landing site of Apollo 12. You can even see the trails the astronauts left!)
The designers went over on their weight allowance for the LRO and managed to finagle a bigger rocket that could lift a lot more. Rather than waste the extra weight allowance they now had, they put out a call to all the NASA research centers, asking them for ideas on how to fill the space. But it had to be something cheap, and something they could make fast, because LRO wasn’t going to wait around for them.
Ames Research Center came up with the idea of crashing a probe into a crater on the south pole of the Moon. Why? Well, there are some craters near the south pole that never, ever get any sunlight because their rims are so high. Previous probes have found evidence of ice in those craters, but nothing conclusive. But if we could crash a big heavy probe into one of those craters, it might cause a plume of debris to rise up, and we could look at that debris and tell if there was water in it.
Water is important. If we found a spot on the Moon with lots of water, we could use it not only for drinking and growing stuff, but we could break it down into hydrogen and oxygen. That would give us rocket fuel and something to breath. We wouldn’t have to keep bringing new air and water all the way from Earth. It makes a Moonbase much easier to build.
So LCROSS was launched with the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter, and last night, it met its intended end. The booster rocket that took LCROSS and LRO to the Moon crashed into the shadowy south pole crater first while LCROSS watched. Then four minutes later, LCROSS crashed as well. The LRO and several observatories on Earth recorded the event and analyzed the results.
And that’s the story. There was no military involvement, and we didn’t bomb the Moon. We crashed a probe into it, which is actually something we’ve been doing since the 1960’s (and a couple of times early on in the space race… not on purpose!) And if we do find water there? It will be a big step forward in our exploration of space.
