To be honest it's ignorant to believe that earth is the only hub of life within the universe.
Space is so enormous that you can't even comprehend the size. Think about how big it is, sizes how far away stuff is you can't.
One of two options here.
1. They're using mass relays. Mass Effect is soon to become a reality. Perhaps Garry will be the first human Spectre?
2. They're using Minovsky particles. [b][highlight]FUCK YEAH GUNDAM[/highlight][/b]

YES! He could take down digital piracy by whining some more, and eating a year's supply of fried doughnuts.

Actually, better idea.
Take down galactic crime with his trusty donut grenades and a Rock-It Launcher that shoots donuts.
Having not read any of the thread, I'll post the opinion of a highly educated mind - and he says that this is very possible and if life [I]was[/I] discovered there'd be a huge cover-up

and how might they possible cross the vast distances of space?

[QUOTE=Ragy;14885455]Space travel as we know it is only seen in movies and fictional stories. As many of you say, it's not possible and never will be, but we have already taken the first step. We are able to send pilots into space and on the moon. While I would not call this space travel my self, it still a great achievement we humans have made. We've only scratch the surface of science.[/QUOTE]
We can't send reaction mass engines further than our solar system.
We can't built reactionless engines for interstellar travel.
We're going to be stuck here in our solar system for a long ass time. If not forever.

I have. It was nothing impressive or a revelation. I've heard all that before.
How can we know we're alone... We haven't even been past our own fucking moon.
Obama discloses information about aliens!
"there are no aliens. Shut up"
Yeeaaaaaahhhh!
Watch, the government will come out and everyone in this thread will be like :O

I love how you act like you know the future of science and humans. We don't know what science will evolve into and what discoveries it will make. I doubt we will even use reaction engines in the future to travel. Science could find a more efficient and faster way.
Before planes, people thought it was impossible to fly and would never happen. Look at us now, we use it everyday.
Anyway, if the US Government did have any real hard evidence (alien contact), I doubt they would come out with it. People would panic and religions would be smashed.
You guys have to admit something, the Universe is OLD. Given the time frame it took us to get to this point in history and how fast technology is developing it wouldn't surprise me if a different species on a different planet with a headstart could have the technology to travel great distances in no time.
We'll wait and see.

I my self believes that the universe is very young. 15 billion years is nothing to me with something such great size and distance. Hell, it's still growing as we speak.
I also believe that there is a species with greater and more advanced technology. We are quite young in the universe.
War of the Worlds will happen. It's obvious.
If we do get Alien Visitors, by the lord let them be friendly, and not bent on destruction of humanity and are here for a place to inhabit or to trade or something, and please don't let this happen.
[QUOTE=100chaz;14900702]War of the Worlds will happen. It's obvious.[/QUOTE]
But what are the odds? they ma be friendly and are looking for a planet to inhabit without minding other lifeforms there. Or just to come by too see human culture and have been studying us, to see how we are. We aren't alone. We just haven't met other lifeforms yet.

uh...no
before planes, people thought flight was possible through rotors and fixed wings and such, but nobody could figure out a reliable way of doing it with the materials at hand
I mean if the idea's been pitched publicly ever since the renaissance I think it's safe to say people thought it was possible long before it happened
but you people are just kinda talking out your buttholes so w/e
Good article, fuck all you guys who are bitching and complaining about this. I really do think there are aliens, do I think they care about us, nope. We are so much less technologically advanced than them they may just be watching us and having a good laugh.
Perhaps the 1960s was our first contact, maybe we finally caught their attention with our ability to leave our home planet.
I also really liked this quote.
[quote]The sun will burn out in due course, and we have to be off this planet if our species is to survive. At this point in human history on this planet, we're now starting, and should be, to reach out beyond our planet and then beyond our solar system to find out what is really going on out there.[/quote]
UFOlogists.
They couldn't think of a better name?
[QUOTE=Ragy;14899053]Before planes, people thought it was impossible to fly and would never happen. Look at us now, we use it everyday.[/QUOTE]
The big difference. And I mean, FUCKING BIG. Is that no one said flying was impossible. It was all a matter of working out how. Physics and science never showed it was impossible, I mean just look at birds.
[img]http://rtone.files.wordpress.com/2007/12/daedalus-and-icarus.jpg[/img]
Now we don't have FTL birds.
But the problem with FTL travel, is that, judging by what we have observed through thermodynamics, that FTL travel IS impossible. Thermodynamics is not wrong. Thermodynamics will not be proven wrong.
You're grasping on the same hope that gravity will be proven wrong by advanced science in the far future. Or perpetual motion will be invented with the discovery of some wonderflorium that grows in the asses of midgets.
If we do find a way, well that's just great, I love science fiction more than anyone. But the chances are astronomically minute that arguing the point so vehemently as most of facepunch does, is absolutely ridiciolous. Serving nothing more than to fulfil childish fantasies.
Good day.

I'm talking about the general public, not the engineers or the Wright brothers.
People would yell at these inventors and call them crazy for even thinking that flight was possible. They say that if god intended for man to fly, he would have gave them wings. Well that was sure proven wrong.
That relates to what you are arguing with me about. Talking about all this shit is impossible, when it's not. Just because we have not learned everything about the universe and how to fly across it, does not mean it's impossible. We will discover new things as we grow and learn. I remember how they said that taking a man to Mars was completely insane and they would die before they ever got close to it. Now with today's new advances in technology, it is coming very possible.

No it's not. Our failure rate for even sending simply probes is massive.
Even our orbital space program is pretty much a disaster.

Both of you guys seem a bit lost here. Currently in development for space travel, many agencies are looking into Nuclear technology for much faster travel, imagine instead of 6 months you could get to Mars in 3 or less. A lot of these emerging technologies are a possibility and most likely will happen in the next 50-100 years.
In the 1960s people thought JFK was insane when he said we would place a man on the Moon, less than 10 years later we showed that Human determination persevered over the doubts of millions.

STL travel does not violate thermodynamics.

It wont happen in the USA, but who is to stop China, Russia, or any other country from developing a space program and designing Nuclear powered Space crafts?
Edit: I had a thought on this, we use Nuclear power plants on land, Nuclear Submarines, and even our Air Craft carriers are nuclear powered, so why not our space ships, it seems only fitting?
