Aliens spying on us from another star system might be able to discern continents and oceans on our planet, using technology barely more advanced than our own.

We're less than a decade away from seeing some awesome sights.

Are they kidding? The people from K-PAX come here regular. They say the taste of the produce alone is worth the trip.

You mean the cookbook? Yeah probably. Wrote under a pseudonym of Rod Serling as I recall.
