If it was 3am, after a box of beers and much to eat, the stars are out, everyone is off their nut. Yep, now this conversation makes perfect sense.

I think it'd take a lot of beer Joe.

I once had a conversation with Sy Liebergot-the Nasa flight controller-Apollo 13 among many others, met him at a convention. And we got talking about life out there-he told me that it was 100% that life had to exist in various stages of development, however the distances to travel made it very difficult-however, he did say that look what we did with Apollo in such a short amount time with the technology that they had then-core-rope memory, basic digital technology-state of the art but your I-phone does more than they could have dreamed of back then-so we have technology to go further, but to the stars-that is going to take some severe head-scratching.

A few years ago when I lived in US ........ I took a trip to the Kennedy Space Centre in Florida. Awesome place .......

While I was there I grabbed a hotdog from the open air food court. There was an Astronaut type blokey (perfect physical specimen, a brain the size of a planet and looked like Buck Rogers) on a little stage with a microphone talking about Astronaut type stuff........... When he finished he asked if anyone had any questions. So I stuck my hand up...... "Yes Sir" says Buck Rogers" What's your name?" ......... So I told him, and after we did the stuff about being from England, and no I didn't know the Queen personally....... He asked me what my question was ??? ........ So, here I am eating a hotdog, and I said..........

"I've been in this country now for around nine months, and I relly do enjoy being here. Everyone I've met have been fantastic and very welcoming. Now I've travelled around a bit and pretty much in any Gas Station you can get a hotdog for a Dollar" ..... Buck Rogers is Smiling and nodding his head in agreement ........ "So, can you tell me why, to get a hotdog here, I've just paid five bucks" .............



Now Buck Rogers is an Astronaut, the best of the best ........ He didn't drop a beat. But said .............. Thaankyou Peter, unfortunately that doesn't come under my remit so, Perhaps you could address that enquiry in writing to our catering department.......... As I'm sure they would be happy to assist"........

Brilliant.......... That man's training was worth every dime of the American Taxpayers money.

Nice one!

.... The Space Centre was amazing ........ The have a full size replica of a Saturn V hanging horizontal in a huge hangar ........ that thing is enormous ...... and a replica of "Mission Control" as it was for Apollo 11 (that we all watched on black and white tv when we were kids) complete with Gene Kranz waistcoat hang on the back of a chair ....... and they were moving a space shuttle on that big old tracked platform over to the Launchpad at 1/4 walking pace....

A great day out.

I think we are too eager to believe science there used to be a dinosaur in crystal palace park that was supposed to be a life size replica of the real thing it had two spikes on its nose(can't remember what it was called) but they found an intact skeleton and discovered the spikes on its nose should have been on its hands. It was like that for years. Now they say our closest star to us is four light years away as if it's a fact, when, in fact it's just a theory. I mean to know that for sure you would need a light powerful enough to shoot a beam of light at it and then have someone monitor it for upto 8 years to get the response. And of course it's getting further away all the time, as if you listen to the scientists space is expanding all the time. No I think space is smaller that we think. And we have been visited, in fact I think we are the result of cross breeding with aliens.

I've always wondered about the 'Big Bang' theory. What made it go bang?

Ahhhh, imagine if you will, taking every single thing in the known universe, rocks, particles, atoms, you and me and compressing them down into something so infinitely small and dense that it beggars belief..... Now this is called a singularity and where it all began, now it wasnt just sitting there in the middle of nowhere, waiting...... Because there wasnt anywhere for nowhere to exsist..... It just popped into exsistance, exploded and created time and space as it went...... Scientists can tell you what happened after like a millionth of a second..... But they dont have a clue before that.... Idiots.

Wow...... I read to much, Bill Bryson: a short history of nearly everything, just a fantastic book..... Complex stuff explained in laymens terms

Science ........ "Pish" .........

It's a "Job creation scheme"........ "Theory of everything" ........ Nonsense.

....... and then we top it all off with CERN spending Billions of Euros building a "tube" under a mountain .......... and what do they find ???? a bl**dy "PARTICLE" ......... and then is was only for a nanosecond !!!! ........ and then they try to sell it as "The start of the Universe....... Oh and can we have some more money please" ..... Absolute "Pish".

Nostradamus Stevekir ( sorry couldn't resist ) as predicted Armageddon 2165 I'm not worried as I will be 200 years old and if you haven't done everything by then it's not worth doing in my opinion. And although the British bulldog spirit is slowly fading I reckon it's something we can still tap into in extreme circumstances and we will be ready for these aliens and will kick their butts back into orbit.i mean in all the best films the aliens (baddies) always lose.

After the meltdown they will come................[ATTACH]98155.IPB[/ATTACH]

But they will turn on themselves [ATTACH]98156.IPB[/ATTACH]

so fellow modellers get back to you benches and get busy as the clocks ticking................and there are some big stash piles out there

We won't need any of the "Bulldog" stuff John ........... Just get Bruce Willis in a dirty, sweaty vest and he'll do the lot of 'em.

John I guess you are aware the Terminator films didn't involve aliens??

:P

As for all that, if we are visited by another species it's quite likely they'll be much more technically advanced than us & will merely sweep us away inorder to exploit the resources of planet Earth.

But for an interesting take on the subject, read the ' In The Balance ' books by Harry Turtledove that deals with an alien invasion during WW2!

Yes I'm aware as are the machines of sky net there's one on the way to your house right now to explain this was a reply to Stevens post.............Long post: sorry. I agree with Steve (Stona). Some additional thought on the lifespans of intelligent life. I think that the human race will last about another 150 years (perhaps less in view of the present accelerating rate of scientific advance) before severe constraints build up such as depletion of physical resources, pollution, conflict betweennations etc. stop further big-scale scientific and technological advances. Before that decline bites, forcing us to turn to survival strategies, we have, say, another 100 years from now to launch a number of manned space flights toother stars. Suppose we launch 20 such missions. These would have to be be aimed in different directions. Thechances of one of these being detected by other intelligent life must be minute given the vastness of space..................
