  1. For all practical purposes we are alone now. I am a proponent of space crossing AI though. If we ever do come into contact with anything that's the most likely thing it will be. Space really is not the best environment for complex organic life. Nothing is impossible but some things are more probable than others are.

  8. Actually making noise in the wilderness is a pretty good way of keeping a lot of critters at bay. We are the apex predators on this planet after all. If you want to hunt you should be quiet though.

  9. Pure scientific research is never pointless. You rarely know what the point is at the outset though. Often other discoveries are made than what was expected or intended.

  10. China has a bigger antenna. But what they're receiving is anyone's guess. We also have arrays now that are bigger.

  11. I remember when I moved and turned in my cable box. I went down to the cable office and I was in this bulletproof glass room. The mind boggles at what caused that to be built.

  12.  @livethefuture2492  it was a bit late of a rescue. Better than never though I suppose.
