    OOF! Way OOF! OOFF the planet, in fact!

    The "news headline" read,

    "Extra terrestrial life discovered in outer space"

    Here is the "article":

    https://au.news.yahoo.com/technology...n-outer-space/

    Can you see the MISTAKE?

    I heard there's a garbage pickup delay in Sydney. I wonder how long this garbage will stay out?

    Good ole Channel 6s and 7s
    CC, Image editing OK.

    I'm not sure what the 'mistake' could be, unless you're referring to the discovery of plankton in space, which leads them to believe 'aliens' may survive as such in space or sort...

    Did I miss something? lol

    Now sits as an antique as it no longer focuses properly.

    Wishlist: Sony RX10iv (or RX10v if it ever comes out)

    Yes, David, you did. It's the title.

    I suppose the first mistake is that the life they've found is terrestrial in origin, not extra-terrestrial.
    And the second, they're talking about close earth orbit not outer space (whatever that means)

    I would presume close earth orbit is still outer space - it's still in space, unless we want to define outer as in far away.

    But I guess I missed the 'extra-terrestrial' part. lol

    It was fun reading the 'viewer comments' during the interview too. The bible one was a crack up. lol
