Galaxy is CRAMMED with EARTHLIKE WORLDS

[HereWeGoAgain]

Such a dreamy escape right now....hopefully the human race will get a chance to actually travel and explore these wonders.

I've always thought I was born way to late. To have been amongst the first settlers crossing America would have been very cool.
I guess I can add born to early to the list now that you've made me think about it.
The stars are definitely the next frontier. But there are some serious technological hurdles we'll have to overcome.
If you can freeze female eggs and the mans little guys for extended periods.....?
Putting them together at the end of the journey would be the problem. Talk about your test tube baby.

As it is the journey to another star system would take so long that humans on the ship would be so inbred they would have forgotten where they were going or why.

Which is why you would have to have a shitload of frozen eggs and little guys.
Kind of a life guard for the gene pool.

If they wanted to exterminate us they would have done so by now.

Um..

We are the most advanced species on the planet and we are still discovering new life forms on our "little" blue space ship.

I imagine the reason we still exist is because no more advance species has found us..

Yet.

That -- and we live in "fly-over" country.. The intergalactic Garmin network shows no fuel or food for lightyears around here..

Earth - mostly harmless.

I don't about being born too early or too late being part of this discovery, this part of our new journey, is exciting in and of itself. To help prepare and help pave the way for our children and children's children is a reward that stands alone. To me this is no different than when I prepare breakfast and take my son to school every morning.

i dont know about cool

out here in South Dakota we often wonder what it must have been like

travelling across the prairie in its natural state in a wooden wagon

pulled by your cow

most of your worldly possessions left behind

lucky to make it a couple of miles a day

You wouldnt know anything different. And yeah I've thought about crossing Texas in a wagon and the hardships they must have faced.
A few years ago I took a three day trip from Vegas to Barstow through the desert using the original wagon trails and stopping at the springs the settlers used. You had to carry an extra fifteen gallons of gas to make the trip.
That had to be one hell of a trip in a wagon!

I like the idea of heading west and just taking your pick of land. What an opportunity!!

i grew up in Minnesota

my sister in law grew up on a farm just north of town

the kitchen of her parents home was the original log cabin of the first

people to settle the area

they did some work on the place and found a stash of a few plates shoes

and a diary

the diary was interesting indicating that when they first arrived

it was late in the year and the had to dig out a cave to winter in

the diary also talked about having trouble with the locals

that would steal from the gardens

and tornadoes

Thats really cool! I love reading about life back then.
I've got four law books from Texas dating back to 1877. They belonged to an attorney from SweetWater Texas named Claude MacCaulty.
The cases range from cattle rustling,chicken stealing,killing indians,problem indians down to petty theft.
Amazing to read about how things use to be.

We are the most advanced species on the planet....

But then we can't get a web site to run right.....

OOOOooops!

Maybe not that advanced as some think...

there are lots and lots of huge websites out there

that work just fine

it is once again this administration

cant get it right

but that has been the way it is with this group from day one

when giving the Russians a gift

they could not get the wording right or even take the time to verify

so instead of reset they give them a button that says overcharge

--LOL


seems they forgot to tell the people

that they too would get the overcharge button

with obamacare some years down the road
