[QUOTE="aSimpNamedBrokeback, post: 35075, member: 7622"] The "Wait Calculation" says we're about 1,100 years away. [URL]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wait_Calculation[/URL] Theres also the Fermi Paradox, [URL]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fermi_paradox[/URL] [i]The Fermi paradox — or Fermi's paradox — is the apparent contradiction between high estimates of the probability of the existence of extraterrestrial civilizations, such as in the Drake equation, and the lack of evidence for such civilizations.[1] The basic points of the argument, made by physicists Enrico Fermi (1901–1954) and Michael H. Hart (born 1932), are: The Sun is a typical star, and there are billions of stars in the galaxy that are billions of years older.[2][3] With high probability, some of these stars will have Earth-like planets,[4][5] and if the earth is typical, some might develop intelligent life. Some of these civilizations might develop interstellar travel, a step the Earth is investigating now. Even at the slow pace of currently envisioned interstellar travel, the Milky Way galaxy could be completely traversed in about a million years.[6][/i] In regular speak "Where the fuck are the aliens? They should have been here by now". Fun Facts. The Helios 2 is the fastest space craft man has created, it traveled at 157,000mph! The closet star to Earth is Alpha Centauri A,B and Proxima Centauri, a triple star system which is about 4 Light years away from the sun. At 157,000mph it would take Helios 2 19,000 years to reach them. Here's an interesting video explaining all of it. [MEDIA=youtube]lD08CuUi_Ek[/MEDIA] [/QUOTE]
