they haven't done anything as big as the moon though thats a lot of years with no further progress in exploring. we already know about marrs etc they should be going further.

Progress doesn't always happen fast. The only reason we've not gone to the moon since is because what actual reason is there? Unless we're building a base there, there's no point going back.

I'm on about an actual rover lander Fingers. Thanks for the link though there's some nice info about it!

I think the search is a waste of time, I think there's already enough evidence that they are already here.

As I Said in another recent thread, I think it's very possible that Faster Than Light travel is just scientifically impossible no matter how far we (or any other species out there) advance. So whilst alien species undoubtedly exist - it may be pointless looking, as physical contact would be all but impossible, with travel (and even communication) even at speeds just under light taking hundreds if years to reach each other, and that's assuming theres intelligent life nearby. there may not be another intelligent species within thousands or even tens of thousands of light years.

Sooo it's a tough question. Is it pointless searching? Probably. That money should FIRST be pumped into local space exploration and the very real possibility of exploiting the almost endless resources that are within our reach, even within our own solar system. We can plunder these planets with absolutely no moral complication: they are just lifeless balls of rock or gas.

The immense profits of that could then be funneled into discovering whether or not currently theoretical warp speed travel is actually possible. Only when we know that it is possible, is it worth looking for ways to use it, such as contacting other intelligent lifeforms.

"it may be pointless looking"


I have a Solution for that
send a 10 year old lad in a Space Ship
so by the time he meets others in the New Universe
40 years later he will be 50 years old.
His Space ship will have a Mega Computer
that will give him total education per year.

Because going through puberty isn't difficult enough, without solitary confinement in space being added to it.

It could kind of be like Farscape, where he's the only human in amongst a part of the galaxy that is full of different aliens.

Oh, a mega computer? Why didn't you say so. Yeah, the kid will grow up just fine alone in space.

Or if Not he will have weapons to protect himself

cause we have never been there in the first place is my theory and if we did we should go back we all need more cheese
