On topic, I don't think that this will be much to get excited about. I'll take heat for saying it, but I really think the whole extra-terrestrial thing is just NASA trying to stay relevant in a technology-saturated world.

If NASA could do that, they might actually be worth something today.

Kidding! I can see the NASA Fan Club assembling a lynch mob.

If NASA's new mission was to bring ties with Muslims we can only speculate as to if this is a Muslim being. Perhaps it is?

Naw we don't use lynch mobs; we prefer some sort of ballistic rocket...

We have to do something to keep people interested. We used to have a space program to do that, but we seem to have given that up...

My guess is it's something that will sound good when they replay the sound bites, but ultimately is not enough to interest anyone outside of maybe a couple of specialized fields.

Apparently, it's going to be broadcast on national television.

Something big is going on. Apparently, one of the folks in attendance is an expert on Saturn's moon Titan...
