I agree streettalk - the main reason to release it now would be to remove the total focus on the financial crisis - not a bad idea really.
FWIW - I think it is highly likely there are aliens somewhere! Hopefully friendlier than us - as I was once reminded - don't wish to hard for a technologically advanced race of Aliens to show up - as when in the entire history of the world has it turned out well for the less advanced race when a more technologically advanced race shows up on your shores....
