1)Do you think extraterrestrial life exists? If so, when and how will humans discover it? What are the possible benefits and dangers of such a discovery?
As an engineer, I have to rely on data, and as far as extraterrestrial life goes, I believe the term is 'inconclusive.' As an engineer I also have an inherent desire to break the boundaries of what has been done before. If there are intelligent beings outside of earth, the first step is figuring out where they are. The next step, actually meeting them, is something I'll work on for when we do find out where they are.
Being an engineer, I'd love to see their transmission equipment and if possible any space vehicles they might have. We might have more in common with them than we realize, and that could pose a few problems. If they get offended or have attitudes similar to humans, we could be in for one very offensive first meeting with them. |
