After reading all sorts of arguments in this thread, I am extremely excited by the possibility of an alien probe passing by. Heck, even if it’s the most horrible kind of alien race - you have to agree - it would be pretty fucking epic to witness the end of mankind in a real-life, sci-fi movie.
And if it’s the loving kind of alien race, that’d be awesome too. Either way, enjoy while it lasts!

- sandebert 4y agoI, for one, welcome our alien overlords.
- zshrdlu 4y agoThey'll likely bring interstellar guns, germs, and steel. And bibles/qur'ans.

- jrvarela56 4y agoJust had a kid, hope she gets to see aliens in her lifetime.

- bayesian_horse 4y agoThere are plausible conjectures that we are most likely alone in our galaxy and will not make contact with another civilization for at least a few million years. If it had been a probe it is already a dead probe. Otherwise we would have picked up something with SETI.

- bayesian_horse 4y agoIntercepting it is next to impossible due to the Delta-V. Capturing it and bringing it back is even harder.
- colordrops 4y agoCheck out the short film Rakka by Oats Studios. You might change your mind about wanting to encounter a horrible alien race. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VjQ2t_yNHQs https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VjQ2t_yNHQs
