Just teasing. But that "lighten up" thing is kind of weird and doesn't really make any sense, as the 14 year ESL kid isn't going all hardcore.

No senior official who's interested in keeping his position is going to answer a blog. A public relations specialist, likely a communications major, answered the blog after being given official guidelines for responses on the issue on extraterrestrial life. A really good ghost rider will study the voice of the author and phrase the responses to even sound like the person they are ghosting for. Most really in-depth questions about any sensitive subject are dodged or deflected to another dept. If the mothership appeared over Washington and landed on the Capitol Bldg squashing all the Congressmen inside(I can dream,can't I?!), NASA's response would be that they'd have to study the data and it would be years before they could give a definitive answer, if ever.

I've had lots of experience with ESOL students and the phrasing seems very familiar. I don't get the "lighten up" comment though (isn't that what the "kid" is doing?). Senior scientist or no, the guy is being a bit of an arse. It's clearly a statue of an alien and not a live one. ;) And now for a completely different take... http://www.marsanomalyresearch.com/evidence-reports/2008/134/rover-statue-or-person.htm The question seems to be formed by someone (possibly a young person) who’s first language is not English.

Look at the misspellings, improper punctation, etc. It's really hard to understand that NASA would present this as is without proper editing. Obviously, they are not out to make a fair argument--instead, they chose a poor email to represent this question. Imagine all the emails they have received regarding this. Instead, this genius gets to tear a 14 year old apart. Pathetic. It’s hard to ignore the question here.

No wonder his dayjob deals with celestial objects, he has not patience for lower things... like people. I may be harsh here, but it's just that I don't picture someone like Carl Sagan giving such a coarse remark; after all a lot of people out there may be ill-informed, or even delusional, but this kind of attitude is not going to encourage them to approach more to Science for answers. “almost irritable”? the guy practically told that poor person that he/she is an idiot!
