Who do you pay for land on a newly discovered planet?[/quote]
You don’t pay anybody! You kill everything that stands in your way, and if you can’t, you give them blankets with smallpox on them.
Why are you guys talking about nuking ourselves?!?! Is this 1985?
Of course if I’m wrong and we somehow nuke ourselves then no one will be here telling me I’m wrong.

A guy registered a business called something along the lines of “Moon Land Real Estate” and he sells sections of the moon. He’s made a shit ton of money by selling acres of moon land to celebs, and other retards.

Hilarious
With this planet being tidally locked, and let’s assume there is intelligent life on it, would they be able to create time?
Also, say there is a self aware species on the planet. How long would it take them to realize they are flying through space around a giant ball of fire? Look how long it took most people on earth to realize this. There may be myths about the dark zone, but if most never traveled to that side they wouldn’t even know about the “thousands” of lights in the sky.
I don’t know, the questions that could be asked about evolving on such a planet are plentiful.
A lot of religion on earth is based on the rising of the sun and the changing of seasons. What would they be like, if there is any, on a planet like this. I guess the seasons could change…what’s the orbital pattern of the planet?
This shit kind of blows my mind. Maybe there are easy answers to these questions, but I think they are kind of fascinating.

Look at the monsters we have in our own oceans in the deepest darkest waters.
Imagine some form of life adapted to living in darkness all of the time above ground.
If our ancestors ever do get there, they had better bring a gun.

There would also only be so much cultivatable(sp?) land, so if they do have agriculture, there may be wars over that land. Perhaps Morlocks and Elois???

Unless because of this they never developed agriculture. Maybe the planet doesn’t have the right soil to sustain an agrarian society. I wonder how much water is on the planet. Perhaps they farm seaweed or have figured out a way to grow their crops on the water? Shit, they may not even eat plants. Could be that the species with an evolved consciousness are scavengers, or amphibious. FFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUU
I’m going to guess that the first goldilocks planet we stuble across doesn’t have life on it. Again, Playing the numbers, I believe there is life and most likley intelligent life elswhere in the universe. Hell, we know for a fact that 1 out of 1 solar systems we can say 100% HAS life. We cannot say 100% that ANY solar systems do not have life. But likley, most do not. So I’m guessing we will have to discover 100,000 or more goldilocks planets before we find one that can work.

The great thing, is that those 100,000 planets are about the same as a handful of sand on an entire beach.
This could take a while.

BAH!! It’s still fun to ruin the market on pure speculation though.
Exactly, it’s all speculation.
A while ago, a scientist couldn’t say the word ‘Exoplanet’ without adding that the idea is all but hypothetical.
There are a LOT of possibilites to satisfy both Drake and Fermi.
Perhaps intelligent life kills itself when it becomes too intelligent?
Perhaps we’ll learn that higher life needs a lot more then just comfy, goldilocky position, enough water, big neighbours etc. so it’s quite more rare and would form only a few times per Galaxy?
Perhaps, like I already outlined earlier in the thread, the gap between space faring civilizations and dumb ones (er, that would include us) is consistently far, far greater then we can literally imagine?
The possibilites here are already endless. We could be mildly interesting pets to some spectating superbrains.
…
The only reasonable thing we can do is trying to find out more while taking our civilization to adulthood on this fragile little planet.

Of course it it. That’s the point.
If you could imagine it, you’d be the loneliest, smartest person on the planet
Imagine the resources that would be made available with interplanetary travel. Shit would grow exponentially.

They’d need some kind of industry based on agrarian, you can’t have life without something that can capture sunlight.
All I am going to say, is unless they have dominos, beer, fishing, and football (on Saturdays and Sundays). I’ll be sticking to planet Earth.

If you believe in evolution word for word, you’re a racist, and you think black people are the lowest “evolved” form of human… right next to native Americans, middle easterners, and other people who aren’t white. BTW, Hitler LOVED every bit of evolution and used it to further push his agenda. Don’t like to bring that up now do you?
The entire theory of evolution is the problem with humanity today. You wonder why so many people commit suicide nowadays! Tell them that there is no god, they only exist to work, eat, sleep, reproduce, and that if your a color other than white, your’re the closest thing to a monkey!

LMFAO!! Black people are less human than whities?? who’s really the racist here? You need to look back over the theory of evolution.
When you have human beings developing all across the world there are going to be differences. just look at the different environments we thrived in. You must be of the mindset that humans “evolved” from apes…which is retarded, as that’s not how evolution works at all.
Humans shared a common ancestor with what we now call apes, and this line diverged a very, very long time ago. What you’re proposing is that each breed of dog is it’s own species, and a german shepherd is “less” of a dog than a pit bull because it more resembles a wolf.
this is the age of information. if you want to refute something, at least do it for the right reasons, and not because of some shit you half remember from a radio talk show.
