They might think we're on the same level we think of ants.<br /><br />Pixel: I actually quite surprised Elon Musk is so open about his desire to colonize Mars. I remember back in the 80's a scientist brought up the subject and was laughed out of the room.<br /><br />Sage: I'll have to check out those books. As far as humanity uniting, yeah it would probably take some outside threat.

However, I do find that the possibilities makes for great Science Fiction. Have you read Lee Modesitt? Two of his books (Parafaith War and Ethos) deal with a religious society gone bad and then a secular one gone bad. Of course, sci-fi tends to imagine worlds that look a lot like us and instead of nations fighting, it is planets or galaxies (and maybe that is the only way the world would be united is a common enemy from out there.sagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17499891950639742366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-829836469690492751.post-18737634247776384452015-10-25T21:01:26.469-04:002015-10-25T21:01:26.469-04:00...patience is a vital element...yeah, it seems li......<i>patience is a vital element</i>...yeah, it seems like a few hundred years of patience. I don't think we or our children will know - but maybe our great great grandchildren. However, I do think colonizing Mars is somewhat more possible - my youngest son would totally go for that trip (I told him he should wait until after I'm dead, LOL).Pixel Peeperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17553862902461169270noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-829836469690492751.post-58252907444406435222015-10-25T19:52:25.217-04:002015-10-25T19:52:25.217-04:00Interesting.

I do believe there is live beyond our planet but as you say they just start to develop technology to be able to pick up signs and I even think it is by long not enough.<br />And than why would they ever be interested in us? There is not that much to learn from human species as we don't keep our planet clean and fight each other all the timeMarjahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17458942200244031009noreply@blogger.com
