a little bit off topic but have you seen the recent developments in warp drives?
NASA is working on it, an engine that compresses space in front of the ship, and extends it behind. Actually standing still, 0 G, space around it moving at max 10 times the speed of light. It can travel....far! google!
People who don't believe in extraterrestrial life are dumb, even people who have limited themselves to "their might be microbes out there", retards...fucking retards.
all imaginable and unimaginable things like highly evolved intelligent life with space/time and dimensional travel possibilities are out there.
We are sending so much radio frequencies into space, which travel at the speed of light, so our current cosmic footprint is now about 70 lightyears in diameter, there are 200 billion stars in the galaxy which spreads over 100,000 lightyears.
I punch those numbers into my calculator and it says our crappy TV shows have reached alot of stars allready.
If we can evolve from rock throwers to warp drive engines in a few thousand years i can't imagine what could be out there.
We have found numerous earth like planets, glise 581 C being the closest on 20 lightyears, which is....really fucking close.
NASA's warp drive would take 2 years to go there.
I think our biggest handicap as a spieces is religion, we need to fix (eliminate) that before we go into space.
The space age has not begun yet! but is imminent.
