“Given the laws of physics and the incredible distances to the nearest stars, no living biological or functioning mechanical entity can reach earth”

Based upon “physics” as we understand them. There is more that we don’t know than we do.

This story and the accompanying “artist’s concept” both appear to have been pulled out of someone’s...

Hey now, that is a picture from one of our satellites.

Nothing to see here. It’s just an interstellar RV.

If they send us back CNN broadcasts the meaning is clear—they have concluded we are stupid idiots and must be invaded and annihilated immediately!

Scientists are set to investigate a month after it passed us. A bit behind, huh.

Sure, because aliens send out radio signals. If they wanted to contact this little undeveloped planet, don’t you think they would have?

And all aliens are friendly, right?

chances are slim. As of October 2005, astronomers have been able to detect the presence of planets around only 28 G-type stars (including Sol) — or around 5.5 percent — of those 511 stars located within 100 light-years of Earth. so, 28 chances.

The only one of those I haven’t read just about every book is Heinlein. For some reason, I started a couple but never finished.
