Well, while smoke is certainly unhealthy, probes into the research done on the subject show that the cancer rates and danger levels were grossly overstated. SETI was recieved funding based on junk science, and over the course of time, that was discovered, but the program has not been shut down becuase those funding it still believe there might be some worth to the research even though it was founded on misinformation.
SETI was not needed because Michael Jackson is already a visitor here, on planet earth, and he comes from a remote planet in a far-away galaxy (of course I won’t say anything about “intelligence” but he is an ET creature).
If they had only asked MJ, he would have told the SETI-searchers everything they wanted to know about his fellow aliens and also about life all over the universe. He is in frequent contact with his compatriots on Planet ######, but shhhhhhh, please don’t tell anyone ‘cause he likes to keep his profile low. It’s a SECRET.
What about SETI was actually junk science?
