Any thoughts on any other living people on other worlds/ galaxies

If there are any, they sure as hell is breaking the Prime Directive...everyone but my mom has seen one these days.
Anyways, yes I believe they exist. What makes it scarier than hell is that there is most likely a race a million and one times more advanced than us who has a warring conquest spirit for them....the only reason why they haven't whiped us out yet is because of the fact that they haven't come acrossed our planet yet on their astro mapping systems.
People who have to create conspiracy and hate threads to further a cause lacks in intellectual comprehension of diversity.
Its just sad this science is subject to so much ridicule and hoaxes that it really seems like something is trying to hide the truth?

Your argument is like a two legged dog with an eating disorder...weak and unbalanced.
Maybe we are just not that interesting to them. I know we like to think we are and all aliens would be sooo desperate to get invited to our parties, but i think its not the case.
Or they would want this polluted mudball for some reason. Erm nah Would you want it? Not exactly prime real estate.
Maybe they send the odd science ship to look at our primitive arses and do programs on there version of national geographic.
Maybe we are just cosmicly unpopular
Heh, unless something radical in terms of tech occurs, we aren't going to any other solar systems for a very long time.
Current technology would allow for an ARKship style of interstellar travel. That is to say, we make a literal city and send it flying off. The inhabitants would live, give birth, grow up, train the new generation, etc. And the great great grandkids (probably several more "greats" in there as well.) of the original astronaughts are the ones to actually make it to their destination. Of course, thats assuming nothing goes wrong, a huge assumption to make over that kind of time.
The problem is, we can't accellerate at any kind of a decent rate without tearing our ships and ourselves to pieces. Even if we somehow overcome that problem, it will take almost five years to reach the nearest star system at the fastest possible speed (slightly less than the speed of light), and from all reports, the Centauri star system does not have any remotely habitable planets.
No man is an island, entire of itself; every man is a piece of the continent, a part of the main. any man's death diminishes me, because I am involved in mankind, and therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls; it tolls for thee.

whats hard about travelling a few thousand lightyears.. geez..
Unless we know how to use warping (which might not even exist..), we ight be able to get further into space.
For now, lets just keep to the plans on landing on mars.
The force of accelleration isn't really the problem. The problem is providing enough accelleration to get a ship moving fast enough to get to another star in a reasonable time. For example we could easily build a ship that could handle one G of accelleration indefinately. If you continuously accellerated at one G untill halfway to the nearest system (alpha centari) you would get up to a respectable percentage of the speed of light. Then you would have to turn around and decelerate the rest of the way so that you could stop when you got there.
But how do you provide that much accelleration? What do you use for fuel? That's the problem.
