If any of you are interested in the concept of "Space Scavengers" that is postulated in the original post, I would recommend you read a book called "Footfall" by Larry Niven and Jerry Pournelle. It's an older book so some of the politics and technologies are a bit out of date, but the points made in the book are really interesting--for the most part, the conquest of a planet in order to gain resources is highly inefficient. Want fuel? Scoop-dive a gas giant (hydrogen is the lightest so it should be near the top). Want water? Find an ice asteroid and cut it loose to harvest it--no need to waste fuel pulling it up from Gravity. Metals? Find some asteroids or a low-gee moon to stripmine. Those who think that the conquest of a planet in order to gain its resources is the most efficient and possible truth...I highly doubt it. Why even bother with an inhabited planet that has technology? It's much more likely they'd come and just strip our system bare, and just leave us alone. Or just nuke the whole planet and be done with us. |

As bad as it sounds.... not wanting to know what else can be out there is just not in our human nature. Life out there or not, you can't deny the fact of space and time and how vast it really is. |
^ Yep. It's crazy to think that the universe is 13.75billion years old. Modern humans showed up 150-200,000 years ago. There could be civilizations out there that are BILLIONs of years more advanced than us. There may have been advanced civilizations that lasted billions of years, only to die out hundreds of millions ago. Many, many possibilities. |

i don't know how correct the number 13.75b really is our dating system may be, and most likely is flawed. regardless, civilizations spanning billions of years is improbable. natural occurrences in our universe would prevent such a thing. civilizations coming and passing. just as ours will. another drop in the bucket. to make way for the next, as was made way for us. |

^Humans are only a small spec comparing to the the life of stars... and its amazing to see how far the hubble space telescope saw back in time... most of these galaxies are really old and some may not even exists anymore. |
