AND if you go faster than the speed of light time slows down.

Yeah, but once they exceed the speed of light, their headlights won't work.

Extraterrestrials have been here. They saw these people and then went back home... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A3ZuOK8E1Gs

LOL.
In my opinion, they do exist or they don't exist. Unless someone can prove me wrong, I'm stickin to it!

There appears to be honest people who clam they've seen or had contact. There are a lot of ancient sites that cannot be explained. Science now opens the door to the possibility.
On the other had, there's no material proof of any of it. Nothing. If it's real, why not?

This is a debate that's been raging since time began. Unless those aliens do show up, the debate will probably continue until the end of time.

The investigations of Mars to date have literally, barely scratched the surface. Even so, they’re starting to show some signs. Like real water once flowed there. The little robots running around are great, but extremely limited in abilities and scope. While not as large as earth, it’s still a lot of ground to cover.

No we’re gonna have to dig a lot of dirt, and look under a lot of rocks before we can categorically rule out life having ever been there.

Personally, as for as all the space time we can so far detect: I can’t see the Heavenly Father creating all of that, just for little ol us.

Yep, that’s why I always replace the factory headlamps
with Star Fire FTL bulbs from Helios!
My eyesight isn’t that good at my age so spotting
asteroids at light speed is a lot harder,
but it’s easier with Star Fire tm. bulbs from Helios.

And as an added bonus, they vaporize anything in the
immediate area, like cosmic dust and hydrogen fog,
no more replacing the ablative coatings after every
trip.
When you do have to replace, use Helios new product
Ionhide, the ablative coating that LASTS...

The article suggests that we will discover microbes on Mars or one of Jupiter's moons. Of course, what the public really wants is not microscopic germs as fossils on a rock or living in a hot spring on Mars or Europa, but proof of an intelligent alien civilization.

That might come a few decades from now through the detection of the spectroscopic signatures of artificial industrial chemicals in the atmosphere of one or more earth-like planets orbiting nearby stars. The technical capability to do this is within reach, if at high cost and with some difficult engineering to be accomplished and put into orbit.

We’re no closer to finding alien life than we were 500 years ago. In fact, the more we look the more we realize that there’s nothing out there.

do they also believe we’re ‘on the brink’ of discovering bigfoot, chupacabra, moth man, skunk ape, the jersey devil, yeti, sasquatch, etc etc etc?
