Republicans in the lower chamber of the US congress today introduced a bill that would require NASA to include a christian missionary on any future manned trips to planets outside our solar system, with the goal of ''shining the light of Jesus Christ across the cosmos.'' |

Astronomers have thus far identified 763 such extra solar planets and estimate that there may be as many as 100 billion exoplanets in our galaxy alone..

It is the possibilty of life in such planets that has excited the so called ''Christian Universe'' movement, which seeks to extend the Christian faith to all forms of intelligent life. A group called Coalition for a Christian Universe (CCU) believed to be backed by evangelical billionaire Foster Friess, has spearheaded lobbying efforts for the cause and is behind the current legislation.

''We now know life on other planets is much more likely than we thought just a few years ago,'' says Nathaniel Hamworth, a Washingon D.C based spokesperson for the CCU. It's no longer science fiction. There are other worlds out there, and we aim to make them Christian worlds just as Cortez made the Americas a Christian hemisphere.''
