That sounds very good however i’m still less than sure that I prefer it. Anyway will look far more into it and choose personally! :)

I never said they’d be enlightened,
I also agree with this statement and just think that Earth(Terra) may not have strategic or resource value….
Thanks for the book name anyway….

#8—I wonder if they will view it as a “historical documentary”?

#38—Excellent point. We often chastise ourselves for our inadequacies, and for some reason, assume that other sentient species would not have similar issues.

# 39 Irish Terran yes that is a possibility that there may be other races. The real question is will they be friendly and the answer is not necessarily. Superior civilization and technology does not mean that they will be friendly or enlightened morality. They could look upon us the same we we look upon lab animals. or worse they could view us as a potential rival and threat that need to be dealt with. There is science fiction that you might want to check out Its called The Killing Star By George Zebrowski and Charles Pelligrino, the premise is that a your civilization once it achieves Interstellar capability, its goal is seek out intellligent life forms and eliminate them before they do the same to you. It an interesting and thought provoking sci fi Novel. On the other had they could also be friendly like the Aliens in Close Encounters, who knows

I aggree with you #37 and#38…..
Star Trek is an idealistic representation of Earth’s(Terra’s) Future.
It is far more likely that any Space worthy races would concentrate on more important things than meeting a violent and war torn race such as ours….
But you have to admit that it’s fairly logical that other races have evolved on other worlds far beyond our rate of technological advances!!!!!!!!!!!!
therefor , it is likely that they have seen Earth(Terra) and seen no reason to investigate!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

#36 Irish Terran there is another possibility, maybe few if any civilizations survive to reach interstellar travel. Look at the issues that we have here on earth. Global Warming, with melting ice caps, the emergence of new diseases, drug resistance of old diseases, declining fertility among populations and the though diminished, the possibility of Global Nuclear war, then there is the long term prospect of dwindling resources. We are slowly poisoning our world with chemicals. Our long term picture is not promising. Maybe evey civilization goes through these same or similar phases of development, and probably few if any survive Life may be more common then we think, but interstellar civilization may be the exception rather then the norm.

they’re probably not interested in Earth(Terra) very much cause were not advanced enough yet!!!!

reasons include:
war
pollution
global starvation
inadequate education
American Gladiators
religious/political divisiveness

Life does exist outside the Solar system but they’re probably not interested in Earth(Terra) very much cause were not advanced enough yet!!!!

If we could find life on one of those moons wouldn’t that wonderful, it would prove beyond a shadow of a doubt that life may exist beyond our solar system.
