| I've been watching the night sky since I was little. I've always been fascinated by the thought that there are so many worlds out there and what it might be like to meet a being from one of them. If I could have any one wish (other than world peace) it would be to be a member of the first crew to leave this solar system and find out what's out there. |

I think it would be foolish to believe that Earth has the only life in the universe. There's no way to tell when and how we will discover other life, but such a discovery would change the way we think forever. It could lead to all peoples of the world joining together and finally thinking of all of us as one family, or it could lead to the demise of all religion based morality and result in chaos.
The early television transmissions from earth have already reached the nearest stars, so if there is intelligent life out there and they have similar technologies, they already know about us. They could think we are anything from cartoon cats to wooden puppets to cowboys and Indians - or whatever they would call bipeds on the backs of quadrapeds. I do wish we could recall every episode of Alli McBeal ever aired, because any intelligent life would conclude Earthlings should immediately see a hairdresser and eat a sandwich!
Human curiousity demands we seek to expand our knowledge of all that exists around us, for good or for ill. Frankly, since it's as likely that extraterrestrials will be hostile and it is they would be friendly, it sure would be a good idea to find them before they find us. Most of all, I just want to know. |
