Pft coward, we will invade and force them to be our slaves thus starting our interstellar empire!
That's mean.
I think most OcUK'ers would like to use their skills to make gifts for the aliens. I've been learning how to make various yummy pies lately, and there are others here who can cook other tasty treats.
We could also make toys for the baby aliens and the girls here could knit scarves and other clothing incase they were freezing when they come to visit Scotland.

Is that your way of saying you want to have sex with an attractive alien?
That's mean.
He's right though... what is the point in exploring Space if we aren't going to start a ruthless and all power Empire like in the movies and games we all love?
If we don't do it, someone else will think of it first and we'll be kicking ourselves!!
That's mean.

Excellent idea we'll poison them all!
You sir have the mind of a truly psychotic evil genius
Quite close in the respect that with the technology we have today it would take approx. 200 thousand years for an object to reach it.

I'd definitely Integrate with this.

An object yes, but communication could be done within a life time as someone else said earlier.
That's completely missed the point of what I'm saying. Pretty much every planet out there has the potential to support some form of life, and I'm not picking on the excitement over finding a planet relatively similar to Earth. I'm just highlighting the inaccuracy - I consider it important in subjects like this to clarify, i.e. "life as we know it" rather than simply "life". It doesn't make for such a snappy headline, but it's also not clarified at all in the article.
It's hardly ridiculous to admit to ignorance on a subject, and while I'd agree that thoroughly searching every planet we come across for unknown xenobiology wouldn't be the smartest move, assuming that there is the potential to support life in pretty much any unfamiliar terrain is only common sense. It's not a mad dash to remote, barren planets on the off chance, just acknowledging that the possibility is there. That's science, not belief or assumption.
I agree. We only know about how we live in our environment, we are still pretty clueless when it comes to what is possible in other extreme or just different environments.
and thinking on it... we'd probably have the technology to over-take it before it arrived lol.

So in the first sentence we have potentially and probably.
I might be a Martian.
I might be a Martian.
The Wright brothers thought they could potentially make a flying machine.
NASA must have thought they could probably go to the moon.
No, you are not a Martian.

They've probably already declared war on us. We should do the same, just to be safe.
