crockett Posted August 25, 2018 Share Posted August 25, 2018 We can't be alone in the universe. It simple math and statistics between the sum of coincidences needed to develop our lifeform and the total of qualifying planets. MANY more matching planets out there, and that only accounts for the lifeform we know. It would be rather ignorant to claim that we are the only lifeform. And I'd rather stay tucked away without any lifeforms knowing about us. If they are just half as crooked as we are, we wouldn't make good friends. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

janice6 Posted August 26, 2018 Share Posted August 26, 2018 Poke, poke, poke, poke, poke, poke, poke, poke, poke...…. Eventually you find the Bear. We may be the fortunate ones out here at the extreme end of the Galaxy. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Historian Posted August 26, 2018 Share Posted August 26, 2018 Anything out there that finds us will likely destroy us for a hyperspace bypass. 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
janice6 Posted August 26, 2018 Share Posted August 26, 2018 It would be nice to develop some technology before we find out just how far down the evolutionary ladder we are compared to the "up town kids". 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tous Posted August 26, 2018 Share Posted August 26, 2018 aircarver and I are prepared to encounter other races and species when we launch the superluminal space plane. We have a gold record of Cyndi Lauper's Greatest Hits. Just hope that any space aliens we encounter have invented the record player. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Historian Posted August 26, 2018 Share Posted August 26, 2018 It's odd that so many people nively think they will be peaceful. They will eat us or keep us as pets. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tous Posted August 26, 2018 Share Posted August 26, 2018 (edited) The space aliens have been here before. An advanced race visited just a few years ago, their goal was to bring happiness and prosperity to everyone on the planet and bring about the Age of Peace and Enlightenment for the contentious humans. TBO Tased them. They said they'd be back in a thousand years. Mebbe. Edited August 26, 2018 by tous 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G26S239 Posted August 26, 2018 Share Posted August 26, 2018 There probably is life in a hew other places outside the Solar System but with the closest star to our Sun being about 4.3 Light Years away the likelihood of Earth life meeting non Earth life is a practical impossibility. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mrs.Cicero Posted August 27, 2018 Share Posted August 27, 2018 I figure there is life on other planets in the universe, but that doesn't mean it has both the physical resources and the intelligence to get off that planet and then out of its own solar system. I'm not going to worry too much. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Biggsly Posted August 27, 2018 Share Posted August 27, 2018 We should send someone to register them all as republicans. Time to beat the democrats at their own game. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
