Aliens - and I don't mean border crossers

Of course, our government has the funds to do so. Our country has wasted so much of our money on space programs, why not go farther in debt investigating the extremely minute chance of other life forms.

Well, at least it would be better spent than on these stupid baseball steroid hearings...LOL

On another note, Where and what do you teach?

Physics (levels of conceptual through calculus-based), conceptual Physical Science, Light Science (physics for visual arts students), weather, and various math courses. Not all at the same time, of course!

This thread I like.

My personal views:
1) Is there life "out there"? Yes, probably teeming with them.
2) Are there any "intelligent" life out there? Yes, but only a small percentage as compared to #1 above
3) Have any intelligent life visited earth? I seriously doubt it (from a logistical standpoint)

On all the planets and moons around all the stars in all the galaxies, we surely can't be "all there is". Come on, just look at us. Look at what we do to one another and listen how we talk to each other.


And when we discover them, I'm going to photograph them/it/him/her
