What will it be? C and I have been guessing this morning (the conference will be held 8p.m. our time).
-Life on Mars?
-We are being attacked by Allien?
-Scientists realised that the Universe is a huge super wise living and kicking being?
-Earthians will be colonising Mars or the Moon?
-A delegation of extra-terrestrians landed with their space ship somewhere in the US?
-Astronauts are currently holding friendly talks in space with Martians?
What do you think it will be?
Oh, this is so exciting! I certainly hope it is exciting!
