    And there may be other solar systems in other galaxies containing living beings far superior to Earthlings!

    I remember years ago lying on a rock along the coast and looking up at the moon over head. I was thinking how far ‘space’ went on beyond it and then realized it went on just as much behind/below me.

    And yet us insignificant particles have split the atom, sent craft outside the solar system, travelled to the moon, created brain surgery (and fruit loops). We have recognized and worship the creator of all too and have free will and reason granted by God to continue to grow as individuals and a species.

    Don’t discount humanity.

    lets think of it as a teacup ride at an amusement park. The cup is earth. the earth rotates at 1,000 miles an hour to make a day. It revolves at 67,000 miles an hour to make a year, and the whole galaxy moves at 483,000 miles an hour to make a galactic year. This is why time travel on earth is impossible as you would be no where near the earth lets say when Doc Brown sent his dog 1 minute in the future in that very spot. The dog would miss the spot by 16 and a half mile, the earth would would have moved 1100 miles in space and the galaxy would have moved 716 miles which would place the dog in outer space. No wonder why every one seems dizzy..

    We just have to address Fermi’s paradox:

    Shipping costs of resources outside one’s own solar system are too high to justify the investment! So only certain authoritarian societies would spend their resources that way, but other civilizations are wise enough to stamp even the slightest hint of authoritarianism out as soon as it arises. Those advocating colonizing outside their own solar system are immediately placed on a ship and put into suspended animation “until it becomes economically feasible.” Shortly thereafter, someone “accidentally” trips over the plug and the rotting mass gets removed after a few days. Which all in all saves a lot of money and resources for more important things, like producing the local version of Calvin and Hobbs.

    Despite Watterson’s sarcasm via his proxy Calvin, it makes perfect sense to think that one should focus on one’s own happiness rather than constantly focusing on one’s place in the Universe. Individual happiness is not the means to any end. It is the end. It is its own goal. It is its own purpose. Those who say otherwise advocate and focus on individual misery.

    I wonder if life on other planets has divided themselves into countries that wage war on each other. No wonder we’re always looking for INTELEGENT life in outer space.
