Space Aliens Will Destroy Us All

[InbetweenDreams]

Nope, we know nothing. We can only speculate, which is fun. There's a lot to consider. I think we draw our thoughts as to what an alien race might do or not do and want to do based on what we know about ourselves. Perhaps these aliens we expect to visit might not be interested in space travel. Also, have to keep in mind that the last 100 years has our species made rapid progress in technology and there's theories as to why that was possible. If living conditions are particularly bad, it definitely will thwart technological progress, can even set it back if say something like solar flares or some cosmic event that destroys technology. So, who knows. Our place in the universe is on the mild side, far away from the center of the galaxy, so things like background radiation, cosmic rays and such are lower here than they would be say 10,000 lightyears closer to the center. I'm rambling again.

Any rate, it is impossible, but it is fun, that is why we have debates on this stuff at all.
