NASA Reaffirms Open Data Policy Amid Ongoing Search for Extraterrestrial Life
A Trump post inflamed chatter about releasing UFO and other government files, but NASA has reiterated its commitment to open science and making mission data publicly available as it continues the search for life beyond Earth. NASA has not yet found definitive evidence of extraterrestrial intelligence. NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman emphasizes transparency and the ongoing exploration programs, including Artemis II, while a NASA spokesperson notes that many mysteries likely relate to understandable, non-extraterrestrial explanations or costlier programs. The agency invites public participation through openly shared data. The search for life uses missions like the James Webb Space Telescope and future missions to icy moons to look for chemical signatures or biological markers. While current confirmed data point to Earth as the only known home for life, the search remains active and unresolved.
