Asteroid shock: ET space protein finding ‘suggests alien life already exists'

ASTEROID experts re-examining a 30 year-old meteorite have discovered the first known alien protein, suggesting the building blocks of life could already exist in space.

The first known alien protein has been found inside a meteorite called Acfer 086 that hit Algeria 30 years ago. The hemolithin protein contains iron and lithium, fuelling theories the building blocks of life really could exist in space.

Meteorites containing hemolithin could therefore play a part in seeding life on habitable planets like Earth by delivering proteins to their surfaces.

Hemolithin is a relatively small protein, composed mainly of the amino acid glycine with caps of iron, lithium and oxygen at its ends.

The odds are there's a lot of life outside our solar system.

@DB

Of course there is. Chances are most of it is so far away we will never have any actual contact with them unless we can develop "faster than light flight",and when you imagine the navigation problems inherent in such a system,it's just never gonna happen even if we could develop the engines that powerful.
Anyone who isn't paranoid in 2021 just isn't thinking clearly!
