what if we are the extraterrestrials

[Nonnel]

what if we are the extraterrestrials

The scientologists were right

[HellHound]

I'm pretty sure we'll discover extra-terrestrial life in the Solar system, but I dunno about ever finding intelligent life ever; we would have to find aliens with a probe that took a decade to get to a star system (and that's just a fly by - it would take even longer to get there if you wanted to actually orbit the star), wait several years for the data of the probe to get back here, construct a ship capable of housing perhaps 1 generation at the most, and then send it to the star system. It would take like 30-40 years to establish contact.

how about radio contact with extraterrestial life, we send some funky waves into space and we get a response?

that would probably still take a decade; you'd first have to decode the way they send their radio transmissions, and then translate their message and try and construct a reply using what you learned from that message. The translating and reply would take the longest, since we wouldn't want to accidentally insult some aliens when it takes years for a reply to come by.

I'm certain if we ever take the time to excavate on Mars we will find evidence of ancient microbes, and that day will be the most thrilling day of my life

best moon in the solar system

I'm certain if we ever take the time to excavate on Mars we will find evidence of ancient microbes, and that day will be the most thrilling day of my life

finding dead boys would be cool but finding alive boys would be even cooler
