The House Science, Space and Technology Committee isn't necessarily known for its scientific gravitas. For instance, one of its former members, Rep. Todd Akin (R-Mo.), made the infamous comment regarding "legitimate rape" that was soundly discredited by the scientific and medical communities. Now, just one day after Chairman Lamar Smith (R-Texas) blasted the Environmental Protection Agency for not using so-called "sound science" in their efforts to slow or reverse the effects of climate change, the congressman held a hearing on space aliens on Wednesday. RT's Meghan Lopez brings us more on Smith's "Astrobiology: The Search for Biosignatures in Our Solar System and Beyond" hearing.
