Oh, THOSE aliens. Them I worry about, but the ones from here on our own planet I really WANT to tick off. Maybe enough so they'll stay home and stop invading us. P. O. O. P!

Cyrus Cassidy #45437 Posted April 26, 2019 Share Posted April 26, 2019 Here in the real world, the idea of mining asteroids is moving forward with vigor. Last year or so, you may recall Space X was able to land a rocket on an asteroid, then take off and land on earth safely. That mission was R&D for future asteroid mining operations.

Sixgun Sheridan Posted April 26, 2019 Share Posted April 26, 2019 Nah, the aliens would never attack because they love Japanese anime. They're probably the only ones who understand it anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marshal Mo Hare, SASS #45984 Posted April 26, 2019 Share Posted April 26, 2019 We must declare a border somewhere. Any aliens coming closer to earth than the orbit of Lagrange L2 outside the orbit of the moon should be considered hostile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sixgun Sheridan Posted April 26, 2019 Share Posted April 26, 2019 Funny thing was, when they sent the two Voyager probes into outer space Carl Sagan had them install a golden record on each one with sounds of Earth and a map of where in the Solar System we came from. He wanted the probes to include a friendly "hello" from us to any intelligent life forms who might find them thousands of years later. Critics said that we were basically giving away our position to any potentially hostile alien creatures who might come across them. His counter-argument was that with all the radio waves we've given off in the past 100 or so years anything looking for us would already have no trouble finding us.

V'ger seeks the creator! V'ger... And they killed off Capt. Kirk (although Shatner is scheduled to be at Denver's StarFest this Sunday!) Live long and prosper! Ad Astra!
