(OP) User ID: 13009431 United Kingdom 05/02/2014 03:36 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I hope not. You're right, there does exist that possibility - but I always like to think with a hint of optimism. Humanity has two very clear choices. We can reach the stars with the 'art of science', or, we can keep our feet firmly to the ground with the 'art of war'. It's really that simple. |

User ID: 1149868 Germany 05/02/2014 03:42 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | "The world will soon wake up to the reality that everyone is broke and can collect nothing from the bankrupt, who are owed unlimited amounts by the insolvent, who are attempting to make late payments on a bank holiday in the wrong country, with an unacceptable currency, against defaulted collateral, of which nobody is sure who holds title." Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity. The woman who is not pursued sets up the doctrine that pursuit is offensive to her sex, and wants to make it a felony. No genuinely attractive woman has any such desire. - H.L. Mencken, In Defense Of Women |

They'd probably provide us with advanced knowledge to build advanced technology. |

If confirmed, a telescope of any size could resolve ever-smaller features of the night sky, allowing astronomers to discover exoplanets and other distant objects much more easily than is currently possible.
