    Russ can wire it.

    Doc can plot our course and tell us stories.

    Steve can decorate since his wife says he's fruity.
    Cragar Craig von Craigenstein is in charge of main engineering.
    Jesse, Ivan and Brock are in charge of Alien Welcome and Relations. Wait. Let's just pencil that in for now.
    Who else wants in?

    WOW this is a nice friendly topic.

    Why did we stop? We are spending that money on wars.. stupid uh?
    So here are my two cents on it.

    Life in the universe is either abundant or rare. I like to think it's abundant and it will be just a matter of time till we know for sure.

    Now the nut job in me thinks the governments of the world are hiding the fact that they know of alien life.

    Big question is are we as a population going to be able to handle it if/when the little green men do show up. will it be mass panic? Aliens show up with advanced power, transportation and medical, how will the markets fare? I don't fear them taking us over, if they wanted to they would have already done so.

    We went to the moon in 1969 followed by several more landings. Why did we stop? we could have been on mars by 1995 if we didn't. did someone tell us to stop?

    All in all this topic can be beat up forever, Just please be civil to those with different opinions.

    What is this theory based on... Government and especially the military knows a heck of a lot more than they are willing to admit to us 'common' folks...

    Depending on the factors used in the Drake equation, there are between 1 and about 40 million intelligent civilizations in the observable part of our universe. And we are discovering that the factors most generally theorized in the 1960's were more conservative than reality. So there is little doubt that other civilizations rise. The troubling part is in Fermi's paradox, that suggests there are limiting factors that either end such civilizations, or cause them to disappear from observation. As we get more and more powerful technology, the trick is to get other places to live before we do something irreversible to this place.

    The difference from then and now is there is an International Space Station.
    Which we really do not know the secrets of this project. I would say it's designed as the Noah's Ark for the "Elites"

    Maynard says L.A. California is first. :dizzy:;)

    Freaks here in this hopeless **** hole we call L.A
    The only way to fix it is to flush it all away
    Any **** time, any **** day
    Learn to swim, I'll see you down in Arizona Bay

    And some say the end is near
    Some say we'll see Armageddon soon
    I certainly hope we will
    I sure could use a vacation from this
    Stupid ****, silly ****, stupid ****...
    One great big festering neon distraction
    I've a suggestion to keep you all occupied
    Learn to swim, learn to swim, learn to swim
    Mom's gonna fix it all soon
    Mom's comin' round to put it back the way it ought to be

    Cause I'm praying for rain, and
    I'm praying for tidal waves
    I wanna see the ground give way
    I wanna watch it all go down
    Mom, please flush it all away
    I wanna see it go right in down
    I wanna watch it go right in
    Watch you flush it all away

    The greatest defense we had against alien lifeforms was Roddy Piper...we're scr3wed.

    It just kind of dawned on me. Why would NASA just have this information stored willy-nilly in a folder somewhere? You'd think that they would have placed all secure info, like this, on an Iomega zip drive and buried it in a vault.

    I can only imagine what the administrators desktop folders look like. Pictures, Unused Icons, Recycling Bin, Top Secret Proof That Alien Life Exists, Spam, Family Vaca '04, Alien Autopsy From Roswell, Chili Recipe's, etc...
    Where’s the KABOOM?!?! There’s supposed to be an Earth shattering KABOOM!!!

    Is there alien life out there. Absolutely.
    Has alien life visited our little blue marble in the past ?
    Possible. How possible ? That's debatable, to be sure, but possible ? Yes.

    But what isn't debatable, IMO, is that there are a lot of unexplained things and events around our little globe.
    A lot of "How did they do that ?" and/or "Why did they do that ?" things.

    Sometimes there are theories that "It had to be aliens !". The stone statues on Easter Island, for instance. The stone was quarried from miles away, so how did the natives quarry, carve, and move these behemoths ? "Aliens ?". No, it turns out they "Weeble-Wobbled" them down to where they were finally set. Quite the accomplishment, and pretty darn smart, but not an indication or proof of aliens.

    The pyramids of Egypt ? Disregarding the phenomenal architecture of these things, other factors seem to suggest that perhaps some "outside help" was used in the design. If it was solely Egyptian building and design, then they had folks back then the would make Einstein and Tesla look incompetent.
    Pretty interesting stuff when you get into it.
    Will it turn out to be resolved with a simple "Easter Island" type of explanation ?
    Could be, or ..... ?

    The interesting thing, to me, is this notion that life came to earth by way of alien intervention (deliberate or otherwise). That concept, once called "directed panspermia", was even espoused, in a slightly different form, by Francis Crick (the DNA double helix guy, that is). The only problem is, from a scientific perspective, is that it doesn't solve any problems -- even if (as Crick hypothesized) the genetic code drifted here (e.g., 'transmitted' to earth by a meteor strike), how did it get on the meteor? ;)

    You can publish stuff like this in the peer-reviewed literature when you're a Nobel laureate whose work changed humankind forever ;)

    Speaking of pyramids how was it thst two cultures were building similar structures on two different continents? Sailing was not as simple when they were built.
    But maybe they hired out to the local pyramid contractor

    There was the German pyramid builder named Trumpf that sold the Egyptians on the idea that "We're gonna build these pyramids, they will be beautiful pyramids and we will get the Sudanese to pay for it"
