Not quite there yet but getting closer. C'mon Dirk, get your ass in gear, this planet sucks :)

You have to realize that when we look up into the night sky there is a very high probability that something or someone is looking back at us.

I firmly believe that the universe if far too vast to be completely empty save for our little corner of it.

Ahh, the Drake equation...

People fail to realize that while a possibly habitable planet is only 20.5 light years away, we are not even close to traveling at the speed of light, so effectively, it could take us hundreds or even thousands of years to get there... We barely have the technology to make a 6 month journey to Mars, let alone hundreds of years...

That also presumes that “life” has to exist under the limited parameters of what we have here on earth. I would wager life will exist anywhere is given a chance, and it does existing outside of the earth and within this solar system.

No....its a 2000's thing...haven't you read Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus?...lolz

Not trying to take the point away from your thread Shea...I believe and the thought and idea that others exist.:)

At the speed of the fastest space vehicle (Voyager I) it would take us 352,202* years to cover the 20.5 light years. You know, pretty doable :)

*really rough calculation

Yeah, if we can find silicon based life forms that breath liquid methane it still counts :)

I fully believe one day its more advanced successor will do the same on Europa. And upon reaching the ocean below it will transmit to earth one last picture of a set off teeth before we lose contact with it completely.

That would be so fricking awesome!
