  1. That's one way to broil fish I suppose. I like mine with some butter.

  2. Let's figure out how to survive on our home planet first. Because if we can't manage to do that here we've zero chance of making it anywhere else.

  3.  @CelestialpsychicSeven  you'd literally be better off trying to live anywhere on Earth compared to the surface of Mars. The most inhospitable environment here is far better than the best Mars has to offer. Deserts, polar regions, anywhere. The bottom of most of our oceans even. Mars is not a pleasant place.

  4.  @ChrisJacobs22  we are an aggressive species. If we weren't we wouldn't accomplish very much. If any extraterrestrials ever come here we can reasonably assume they're aggressive as well. Otherwise they'd have never developed the means to travel. Now sometimes we can suppress our nature. I wouldn't deny it though.

  5.  @RockSmithStudio  with some cocktail sauce.

  6.  @ChrisJacobs22  working together, separately. However we do it. We can be doing far better than we're all doing now. I'd say we'd have to be doing better before we try to make a go of it anywhere else. They say you'll never do anything if you wait until you're totally ready. I still feel we need to be more ready than we are.

  7.  @ChrisJacobs22  a possible solution to what?

  8.  @ChrisJacobs22  that's very long term. This planet has more time left to it than it's been around already. Locally we can seem to be space limited but humans really only occupy 6% of the planet's total land mass now. There's a lot of places where we simply aren't. We wouldn't know about those places because we're just not there now. No one is. Most folks live within 150 miles of a coast. We're like pond scum in that regard. We cling to the edges. There's a lot of flyover country.

  9.  @ChrisJacobs22  the sea is vast. I live 6 miles from the shore. Practically walking distance. If you like long walks. By road with traffic it takes about 20 minutes to get to the popular beach. If you ever want to see the ocean there's buoy cams online. Just look up NOAA buoy cam in a search engine and it'll take you to the page. Then you can connect to buoys all over the place and live stream. A lot of them are just static images though. It's rough by that bomb cyclone right now.

  10.  @ChrisJacobs22  if they travel then they're aggressive. I can guarantee it.

  11.  @ChrisJacobs22  not really. The troop of monkeys that lived on the other side of the river from our ancestors are still nesting in trees today. Life takes different paths here. There's vicious creatures and sedentary ones too. We're more on the feral side. It may have been due to childhood trauma. We had a tougher row to hoe so it made us mean.

  12.  @ChrisJacobs22  it'll certainly be different. But we'll share things too. You're only curious when you're looking for an advantage. Cats are very curious creatures too. They're also quite vicious. We'd all like to gain dominance without being violent. That's not always in the card though. Then the teeth and claws have to come out.

  13.  @ChrisJacobs22  passive creatures do not explore.

  14.  @ChrisJacobs22  the most likely scenario is nothing ever comes here. We're a needle in a vast haystack. Then there's the sweeper bot theory. Where an AI just sends probes all over the galaxy. That would stand the best chance of contacting us. But the goal wouldn't be to contact anything. It'd just come here to consume resources. Basically space locusts.

  15.  @ChrisJacobs22  I never said I was open minded. I'm just big brained.

  16.  @ChrisJacobs22  it's no ego. I've had my IQ clinically tested and it is what it is.

  17.  @ChrisJacobs22  you're the one here that's having comprehension problems. Exploration and curiosity are aggressive traits. It's active behavior.
