The Poll of the Seven Planets

[CavLancer]

Which would you prefer?

I chose simple life. Easier to move in without fuss, and shows at least one planet can support life.

 

[Lohrenswald]

prefer?

what are you talking about?

Perhaps a link to the other thread should be added to the OP?

I hope they aren't too far advanced than us that they may one day come for us.

 

[MilesGregarius]

Wouldn't simple life be nothing but microbes?

 

[wbjgr]

Intelligent life, but not as advanced as we.

cause then i could impress a hot alien babe with my tech ez

 

[hobbsyoyo]

I hope there is advanced life on one of these planets.

If you had asked about life in our own solar system, well my answer would have been very different. I definitely hope there is nothing living on Mars. For all the other bodies in our solar system I tend to not want there to be life on them either.

Is that what you call it.

Why not?

If there is life on Mars it would raise very serious ethical and moral questions about colonization. I want to colonize Mars so naturally I'm leery of such a situation. The same applies to the rest of the solar system though to a much lesser extent because it will be (in my estimation) at least another century or two before we could seriously colonize the other bodies (the moon excluded).

Non intelligent life forms on Mars ?
I'd imagine there would be a debate and a vote of some kind, followed by terraforming. Life on mars might exist at the poles which humanity would need to use the pole water over ridding any ethical concerns.
But any terraforming is a long way off there may be someway to save species of mars life before terraforming and place them into some sort of preserve

I don't fault your reasoning about Mars, but what about Enceladus and Europa and anywhere else in the Solar System? You don't actually think humans are going to colonize a moon that has oceans of hydrocarbons, do you?

the non-stop press conferences of possibility of life elsewhere in the universe is a ploy that gets used in debates of for and against "religion" . ı don't know what it would change if bacteria or the like were discovered "elsewhere" . Mankind would have trouble in exterminating them , too . Just talk a billion or two to make up there .

nobody is asking , and of course this seems a serious discussion but been there done that , nothing will be found there .

 

[red_elk]

I would prefer Earth's life to be more intelligent.

 

[Manfred Belheim]

Other - No preference.

No preference should have been an option.

 

[Lohrenswald]

I want to colonize Mars

Isn't it like a thing that colonising planets is a waste of time and resources?

 

[warpus]

My preference is to have alien civilizations on those planets advanced enough to produce video games that I could eventually buy and play on my steam account. But not advanced enough to destroy us.

I mean it provides people with new places to live, nice views, and more possible life experiences. Plus it's a nice backup for if something horrible happens to the Earth.

 

[warpus]

Not if, when.

yea but it's like much more prectical to make space stations or colonise asteroids I've heard

Tough question. All outcomes are acceptable.
