NASA scientist: Since the nearest inhabitable planets are light years away, it's doubtful that we've had any visitors.

Based on other life forms ONLY being at our level of technology.

That's false anyway... even at our level of technology, it is possible that an inter-generational "mothership" left its home planet thousands of years ago.

Aliens that visit earth may no longer even be tied to a planet, but may live their entire lives on an interstellar spacecraft.

It's also possible that the aliens themselves have far longer lifespans and thus would not even blink at a 50 or 100 year flight from their planet to ours.

It may be unrealistic for humans, but claiming it is unrealistic for aliens is pretty arrogant.

Yeah that Einstein-Rosen Bridge theory is really full of shit, huh?

Oh, really, NASA? Then what exactly are we seeing with our military grade Gen 3/4 Nightvision goggles, hmm?

They found us. And why wouldn't they?

What ARE you seeing with night vision goggles?

It bothers me that we went with Kepler instead of Menshara.

Space does not exist....

the earth is flat and we are in the firmament.

I'm embarrassed on your behalf. Please get help

why though?

because he can't accept the fact that he's been lied to his whole life, and rather tell you get help than go against society.

Because everyday phenomena constantly disprove the flat earth hypothesis. The flat earth is supposed to be stationary, right?

Also embarrassed on your behalf.

When you post something like this, there has to be at least a moment of embarrassment right? Like, you can't actually consider yourself un-retarded while sincerely maintaining that every person who has ever been to space is lying, right? Do you think that every person who has ever looked through a telescope and seen massive rotating spheres floating in vast emptiness misinterpreted what they saw? Jesus Christ

At best you should assume these are troll posts not worth arguing with. Just down vote and walk away.

Something about the flat earth/hollow earth/concave earth/space-is-fake fuckheads bothers me more than the run-of-the-mill crazies though

It really bothers me that we hold other civilizations to out own limitations. I have a feeling that when we do encounter alien life we wont have the ability or capacity to grasp it. This is sad, an open mind cant see a future untold, and we will miss our opportunity

I say this all the time. I especially think about how everyone says “You can’t have life without water” ok well life on EARTH can’t live without water but who says other life forms need it? Planets filled with known and unknown elements are required for their specific needs to live just like Earth has the specific requires WE need to live.

The same people say "At the speed of light, it would take us a thousand years to get to the next star, so aliens probably aren't visiting us." Why do they make the assumption that alien travel is limited to the speed of light? People once thought heavier-than-air flight was impossible and look how foolish we all now think they are.

The nearest star is only 4.3 lightyears away.

Thanks. I meant galaxy I guess.

Idiot liars

NASA wIth more lame NASsplaining.

Sounds like he needs to look through the other end of the telescope
