UM-Bot Posted October 17, 2018 #1 Share Posted October 17, 2018 A new report has suggested that searching for evidence of alien life should be part of all future space missions. https://www.unexplained-mysteries.com/news/322482/nasa-should-be-looking-for-et-say-scientists 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zep73 Posted October 17, 2018 #2 Share Posted October 17, 2018 That's silly. We will most probably never meet an E.T.I.B. Why "on Earth" would they go traveling into deep space? Give up their lives for something that is extremely likely to be in vain? Would we do that? I think not! Maybe send Androids to make research, but never spend the rest of our lives in deep space looking for the needle in the haystack. My message to the scientists who wants this is: Grow up and wake up!

So you are saying there is still an option that it will happen, right? Quote Why "on Earth" would they go traveling into deep space? Give up their lives for something that is extremely likely to be in vain? So you think that extraterrestrial microorganisms are such smart to be able to do interstellar travel? From the article: Quote The report's authors have called for the development of a "flight-ready instrument" that can be sent to other worlds as part of future missions to search for evidence of alien microorganisms. Quote Would we do that? We will and we have to in the very deep future but not in a kind as we think it will be, today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are much more likely to either 1) get struck by lightening ten times, 2) win the lottery 5 times in a row or 3) survive swimming across the pacific alone. It could happen, but it would beat crazy odds! Quote So you think that extraterrestrial microorganisms are such smart to be able to do interstellar travel? Articles like this are made 3, 4 sometimes 5 or 6 times a year. Sometimes they are about intelligent life and space travel, sometimes not. So excuse me for not reading yet another scientists-wanna-find-aliens article. It gets old, ya know. Edited October 17, 2018 by sci-nerd 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AllPossible Posted October 18, 2018 #5 Share Posted October 18, 2018 Kind of pointless... If their out there then they found us already. Like a magic trick to a kid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
