If they came with amazing techno/bio offerings would we look at them as an invasive species or accept their "blankets" and "firewater" as friendship gifts? I hope we choose to view them as invasive species.

Perhaps cryptos simulate "religions" whereas a single idea fragments in tens-of-thousands of variations? Look how many sects Christianity has after the Protestant Reformation "Hard Fork"

I so agree. It would be more worthwhile to terraform the Australian outback or Gobi desert and put a forest and settlers there than oxygenated domes on Mars. Not to say that space exploration should never be an agenda, but rather we select

The first three paragraphs sound like he is a PTSD victim from a forgotten war. The next seven, like a nerve gas victim. With all this in mind. This si more than a red flag for space travel, more has to be done before we even consider estab

I believe that asteroid mining would be more worthwhile and a base on the moon to process the bounty would be far cheaper and safer.

The Apollo module was 20,000-kg. We could do it in 50,000-lbs chunks but we would have to process it on the moon first so it wouldn't crater when it landed. If the commodities market tanks, well, we'll value add it by selling it a

Imagine hijacking a 100-meter moon made of rare earth metals like gold, platinum, rhodium, ruthenium, iridium, etc. etc. More than enough to under write the mission and pay for a moon base.

Disney is going to lose this bout. Netflix's is more diversified than Disney and one has to ask would the actual consumer want to have two or three streaming services? Netflix is doing anime, soon comic book movies (they bought Millar
