Reed said that the acorn-thing is the first proof of life in outer space and it is. All of the aliens Reed met weren't in outer space; they were on planets or in space ships. The acorn-thing is the first proof out in the vacuum and hard radiation of actual outer space. And that's worth getting excited about even if you have met more than your share of aliens. <BR/><BR/>(And with the preciseness of the dialog and the spore-like design of the acorn-thing, I'm not making excuses, I think Stan and Jack meant exactly that.)billjachttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09260406336065905545noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16823651.post-37204915704531614242008-01-18T15:14:00.000-05:002008-01-18T15:14:00.000-05:00The acorn-like thing is proof.
