Ya know, and I know I will be ridiculed for this, but, we don't know for sure that we are the masters of the universe. What IF there really ARE other intelligent forms of life out there, and now, we are polluting their space as well as our own? I mean, I think it is completely arrogant to think that, in the vast amount of space and time, we are IT. But we never think about the consequences of our actions, do we? (sorry, didn't mean to go off like that, but I can't stand the egocentic nature of most human beings)

Then we're building a trash fence to keep them from coming here and taking our jobs... and women. :haha:

hmmmm, I might just LIKE a space alien. I mean, it sounds soooo exotic! :D

So you haven't seen Mars Attacks.

I was thinking more Worf, or... something. :D

Earth Girls Are Easy!

Nonsense. Only humans invented Darth Vader and Death Stars that create litter from whole planets. Only we have mastered the art.

They'd have to live pretty damn close for us to be polluting their space. As in, in Earth orbit.

Space is big. Really big. Even if we vaporized the Solar System, and shot it out as pollution, that's just peanuts to space.

We're already doing this at home to intelligent creatures: http://ngm.nationalgeographic.com/20...ia-morell-text. Not anthropomorphism, some animals exhibit true intelligence, reasoning, and self-awareness typically thought of as purely human traits.

Space shuttle and space station yesterday changed orbit to avoid more space junk. This time, it may have been some Chinese junk from a 1999 launch.

yes, I know it's really vast, but everything is connected, ya know. And frankly, we ain't all that bright. If we were, climate change wouldn't be such an issue, and neither would pollution and population and a host of other issues.

Yes, they do, which is why I support animal rights.

I love that movie.
