A fair point, any species that can do interstallar travel, I think it's safe to assume they also have the tech to insure we'd never see them unless they wanted to be seen, and if they wanted to kill us off, we'd be wiped out before we realised what was happening.
 
Rest of the images due shortly.

I still maintain that those who think aliens that may be out there would ultimately wipe us out are just overthinking things and only considering an unlikely worst case scenario. People often liken it to the thought that ants to us humans are insignificant. We walk all over them, destroy their homes to re-do our gardens etc etc, so Aliens would be the same?

Not buying it one bit since the two are not similar. To evolve to a point where you can travel between solar systems let alone galaxies means your species has have come to a point where it is unlikely they have any sort of conflict among them and they are working collectively to explore and observe and when the time is right, introduce themselves. Ultimately that's the kind of thing I imagine is most logical. Intelligence on a grand scale requires that each individual is exactly that. We aren't there yet, nowhere close to it, but it makes sense to imagine humans ending up that way in the distant future.

Logically it could not be any other way. To travel those sorts of distances in any measurable amount of time requires the energy that cannot be found from anything on Earth. That is a lot of power at one's disposal and without species-wide peace, could very easily wipe themselves out in the blink of an eye.

Sure, I agree. If we did see 'aliens' in the pictures they will either be long since extinct, or as you say, will have evolved to such a level in the meantime that we'd not see them 'in the present' unless for some bizarre reason they chose to reveal thier existence to us.

Christ they are milking this with waffle. And how can NASA take a photo of galaxies 13 billion years ago but can **** up a broadcast this bad.

I think we'll have to wait for some proper analysis, hopefully in the form of a documentary once the science people who actually understand this stuff have time to digest it a bit more, all we are getting at the moment is a bunch of talking heads.
