well maybe we will, or maybe we will become extinct tomorrow from a random scientifically unknown event. I think it is arrogant to believe humans are borderline invincible as a species and we are absolutely nothing in comparison to what is out there

>>5196061
well yes I guess that could be an option, tying into the hibernation system, a crew could be submitted to a deep sleep being woken for a year every thousand years to carry out experiments and check progress and whatnot, plus that would eliminate the need for such a huge ship able to maintain a population

>>5196057
the ship doesn't necessarily have to communicate with earth. And maybe some form of deep hibernation would be developed or just a heck of a lot of stuff to do, with a ship that big and a lot of unexplored space, meeting life wouldn't be the only goal

>>5196036
but the galaxy won't necessarily wait. The other point about the average time a species exists for ties in here and of course the fact that nothing lasts forever

>>5196016
Of course i think aliens exist, its an extremely low chance for them not to even in our relatively smallish universe

>>5196008
thats why I made my point about a ship able to sustain a large and reproducing population. but even with these ridiculously powered drives the amount of power needed is immense if you want to get up to that speed with such a large ship

Interesting first response to the question haha, people have funny little ideas sometimes

here's a thought, humans will probably never ever ever meet any other form of intelligent life. The only way I see feasible is developing some sort of space craft that can support a large population and is fit to house generation after generation whilst constantly travelling. But even this is borderline ridiculous as at the highest speed man has ever traveled it would take over 600000 years to reach the one of the nearest systems with potential life, Alpha Centauri. Even if we somehow managed to get these giant ships to approach light speed which would be interesting in itself it would still take years to get anywhere. And of course this would apply to any other life out there meaning they can't get to us any easier. I'd like to see some thoughts on this. Possible ways to travel this far and the chance of intelligent life actually existing out there in the vast universe. All views welcome I find it very interesting to see what others think

Ugh. Do not want.
Anyone who's watching it mind giving the rest of us a summary? I don't have much time

I would be upset too, 106 years man!!!

the american government maybe,
besides those aren't trees it's tall sand formations that make odd shadows.

why would they destroy the earth.

I'm a carpenter.

Someone help me get down from here?

:D

Didn't even need the clarification. Women do not work with computers, science, or math(EXCEPT BIOLOGY LOL).

Skeletor Mountain is an Icy peak on mars that looks an awful lot like the saturday morning cartoon villian.
