alt Hacker Newsforget the impossibility of light-speed travel
once you grasp even a problem as "simple" as cosmic-rays and you still believe living creatures so advanced to overcome all that are bothering with Earth
well then I don't know how to deal with that level of stupid
automated drones a remote MAYBE (still the problem of lightspeed)
but if you believe in aliens visiting you should stick to "flat earth" or any religion
how about instead we turn all this enthusiasm into forcing our government to properly fund the Habitable Worlds Observatory Space Telescope (which DOGE now destroyed any hope of happening)
I could believe that aliens would come to visit.
But the way they supposedly come is silly. They fart around doing random nonsense, not revealing themselves but also not hiding themselves very well, and there are a bunch of blurry ambiguous photos but not a single clear one, AND this all just happened to start right as humanity began to engage in space travel itself? It’s ridiculous.
