  1. Well there's always the "Billy Bob Thornton" solution for why we haven't had our "Jody Foster Moment" (always appreciate a good movie reference): "Our budget allows to track about 3% of the sky and begging your pardon sir but it's a big-ass sky." Lotsa open space out there still yet to be looked at. Personally, I think it's just a case where the conditions for intelligent life are a whole lot more rare than the scientists who bloviate on TV make them out to be and if there are smart folks who are able to talk and stuff out there they are no closer to figuring out how to break the laws of physics than we are. And at the end of the day, that's what you would have to do to boldly go where no man has gone before. Unless Einstein got it all wrong and Bill Nye is actually a scientist, but I digress. Trust me, nobody used to believe in E.T. more than me and nobody was more geeked about having him in for a cup of tea than I was but the more I learned about the universe as it is, not as we were told it was when I was a kid, the more I have come to to the conclusion that we are pretty damned special. Or is it just especially damned? 🤔 I get confused on that point from time-to-time. But there I go again. Anyway, it's late, and while this stuff is fun I'm gonna have to put it to bed for now. Let me know when Spock stops by for a chat. Until then, as always, "Live long and Prosper." 🖖
