It's an event they say only happens every 50,000 years. Give or take.

This is something I'll be looking for nightly because it's rare and sounds like it looks nice.

Maybe in 500 years. We have to perfect the methods of letting us live in that atmosphere first.

Animals might be more of a challenge than humans.

Quote from Garnet

Venus has a pretty toxic atmosphere, and its clouds are filled with sulfuric acid.

Now imagine a life form being made from an environment such as that. H.P. Lovecraft, anyone?

But I guess we have to accept the fact that we can't explore and know everything.

It's just hard for me to wrap my ahead around the concept of "looking" through "time".

I'll listen to the experts for the answer, though.

THIS!!

Whenever I think of alien societies, I think of dark landscapes and creatures.

These are the creatures I would NOT want to see land here.

It seems like it would be a waste of space for nothing else to be alive out there except us.

It's a depressing thought, actually.

In a joint effort with France, NASA is on a mission to survey all the water on Earths surface. I think this is an amazing use of technology and could give us more insight on the state of affairs with our water. What do you guys and gals think?

Even if only half of all UAP sightings are legitimate craft from somewhere out there in the big ink, that is a lot of successful launches of their own.

Personally, I have never seen anything in the sky that I could not identify, but I still believe in intelligent life in the universe.

Because I think it's beyond their realm of understanding. Like typical sky faring U.F.O.'s, they would need to retrieve one that crashed and reverse engineer it.

Quote from alabaster

......returning the digital copy if the book is horrible. I had no idea that was a thing.

It's a thing, and many authors don't like it. I think it's a full refund if you return a digital book. It should be at least a partial refund, like what happens with a physical book. Sounds fair.

I've been noticing a shift in internet chatter lately. There is more talk of underwater “craft” that travels extremely fast, breaks the surface and starts flying in the air. Some reports come from reputable witnesses like submarine operators. This part of the U.F.O. talk isn't mainstream yet, but I think it should be.

Do you think people are taking note of what type of propulsion system is needed underwater and in the air, so they can try to make a connection? Like, how can one propulsion system work in both environments?

"Pratchett is known for his meandering"

That's not the first time I've heard that, Maddie. But since the author is popular, there must be an audience for that style.

I like to read reviews of authors I don't know and find out what their style is before I buy something from them. Preferably a short story.

Both stories explore fantasy worlds as part of a series, but that's where the similarities end, as I see it. I'm sure the flat earth people love Discworld, but I'm more a fan of the premise of The Long Mars.

I've always wondered if Deja Vu fits into the premise of theories and stories like The Long Mars.

Since I can't figure out how to quote someone and respond to that quote correctly, I deleted the quote and responded here. I hope that's okay.

I don't know if you could call mine an “intelligent” life, but I found you anyway. lol

I'm glad it went off without a hitch. To be honest, though, I hope the other intelligent life out there doesn't sabotage our efforts.

I think we all know we're not alone.
