i think he's confusing the spy sats with HSTHey Bob, do you still "have the ability and software to resolve through HST a license plate number on a car at 100 miles from low earth orbit."?
Inquiring minds and all.
Do you?

yes, and they were prepared to destroy us because of how corrupt we were, but they saw the love of one man and explored it and found that in spite of the corruption there was good in human kindThe Abyss was truly wonderful and again, another slant on visitation by those that have gotten past conquest.

I'm gonna consider that a non violent species is just that. I doubt a truly evolved alien race would be able to justify even one murder. I mean since we are giving them all this credit and everything.
Actually, this is good debate. Oh, get out of north Seattle. I wouldn't go in their even with a search warrant. Gig Harbor, yes, but the wet is just beyond coping. I no longer come back incountry through there. I come in down home into Cozumel, MX.
Look at the numbers I posted. Those are facts. That is what we go by. Fact, not conjecture or feelings. Just something to consider. The items you presented are valid, no argument, but that is not the whole nor is it the bases for fact.
Hope that is helpful. It has nothing to do with non-violent. It has to do they are past conquest. That is the key. Put another way for point, we no longer hunt ants, hunker down and eat them. We stand back or kneel down and study them. Why? We are past killing ants. We have evolved past that.
Just a thought.

But, yes I can.
Can you see the flag on the Moon with a telescope?

What can I say?...I was a big fan of Bronson's "Death Wish" series...
If not me...Who?
If not now..When?...
My friends count on me like that.
It's not a charity case..the owner is a multi-billionaire. He does me favors all the time.
I haven't always had it tough....and this is totally do-able..I'm not chained to the place..and I have a very large Pitt Bull(going on 120lbs) to do the rounds.
My childhood home...the front ten acres of 150.

I fired off 10,000 rounds up there before I was eleven. My first deer, a 10 point, was taken from three feet...age 12. I'm no "Navy Seal" like some people will deny but I have my moments..
Don't worry about ol HUGGY...I get off on this shit.
how familiar are you with the latest spy sats?i think he's confusing the spy sats with HSTDo you?
No.
It is so.
"What could Hubble see on Earth if it were to be aimed at the Earth?
Hubble is in orbit at a height of about 375 miles up. If we work the math, it can be shown that Hubble could just make out something that is 5.56 inches wide on Earth. Basically Hubble could just make out the size and shape of a car license plate (assuming it was laying flat on the ground). However, reading the numbers would be out of the question!"
Can you see the flag on the Moon with a telescope?
With software for resolution, yes, you can read a lic. plate. But that is not what Hubble is for.

You at a loss for words Bob? Why? You posted that on another board.
The Hubble Space Telescope:
A. Isn't pointed at the earth.
B, Has no mechanism or software for mapping the earth as it was never intended to do so.
If you know different, let us know. The link you gave us is all "what if" and purely conjecture.
Is there something you wanna' tell us Bob? Just remember, Tourettes Syndrome doesn't affect internet postings.

I read that they could pick out a foot print back in the 70's
Before I start this, this is my personal only opinion of studying this topic for over 35 years now. And though, off record, over 89% of NASA people and affiliated enterprises agree also with what follows, this is strictly my own take and stand at this time on this topic.
First, you must get very familiar with this link and data below, concerning the Drake Equation. It is the most compelling math tool and anyone can use it and it is fabulous for this subject. Here it is:
http://www.activemind.com/Mysterious/Topics/SETI/drake_equation.htm
Ok, for me and over this 36 years interfacing with NASA and assorted agencies, I have come to the conclusion then, and now, that our universe, or closer in, our Galaxy, is host to lifeforms on a level of Star Trek-The Next Generation. I think it is a swarm of life, intelligent and everything in between.
ST-TNG, the federation, is 8000 Light Years (LYs) in diameter, and look at the life that is entailed in that fictional quadrant of our galaxy. I truly feel that whole world of grand fiction will play out in the near future to not only be true, but more so, conservative by numbers.
Here's why:
1. Our sun is a class C type star and is found to be the most common star type in the cosmos.
2. These star types tend to be the most stable and longest lived.
3. They last upwards of 6 billion years.
4. They have multiple planets, with at least one in the "Goldilocks Zone", where liquid water is present on the surface, thus the right distance from the home star.
5. And on carbon based planets, this is the condition for life, as we know it.
Further, like the movie, "Start Trek: First Contact", we are going to leave our home place. We will do so when we have developed something that is SoL+ or, a WARP drive if you will. From that, we are free.
And if we are free to explore out beyond our local solar neighborhood, we would obviously be able to reach out to other Class C worlds, for no other reason than to see if we are right.
And, aside from the darker psychopaths that post on all these myriad of boards to the contrary, NASA and all other space agencies around the planet is pushing the technology to "see" out there what is there. And it reasons well, if we are not alone, others out there are doing the same, looking back.
If we don't "see" each other at some point, or we get out there and then run into someone else, the treasure chest is open.
So, categorically, WE ARE NOT ALONE!!
In the not so near future, in our lifetimes even, we are going to get a message, anything, that will simply be "Hello. Are you there?"
Behold.
Comments encouraged greatly.

Again, you post a link that doesn't back up your claims. Of all the cameras mentioned in the link, none of them are pointed at the Earth. And nowhere does it state that they can "turn HST and look at the Earth" as you claim.You at a loss for words Bob? Why? You posted that on another board.

Read the article. Read it carefully. At JPL or HST, we can turn the HST to see down to earth and read down to 5.5". I answered you. Can you read? Are you at a loss for words, or just being an asshole. Which? Read it again and then read the specs for resolution on HST and view demands.

Hope that is helpful. But what about are we alone in the Universe. I think that is the topic of this thread I started.

Or was that one of your bi-polar moments?Robert A.M. Stephens on January 29th, 2011
- Whomever you are, Steve, thank you, thank you. I was there that morning, watching my GF of one year, Astronaut Dr. Judith Resnik (Judy to the rest of us) and the 6 other great folks and friends, make her 2nd trip to space. I remember. I remember. Thank you!!!!! Always .

don't you need a moon as well, to agitate the pools of life? And carbon, and amino acids?
it is not water alone, no?
Wow Bob, you never told us Astronaut Judith Resnik was your girlfriend. Tell us all about her. That is, if you're not still torn up by her loss.
