Of people that are on extraterestrial planets? I believe that they are
close to us. I believe that in the order of the universe God put life
close together in space. Otherwise there would be planets that would
never make contact. Now that to me does not make sense. Since I am
waiting for contact. But it is in millions of years ahead in my
opinion. Outside of just listening to their signals.

I believe we have a closest neighbor we will detect first. Then
building a ship and telling them that we are comming is what we ought
to do. I really believe it will come to fruition in ten million
years.

I guess we'll have to wait and see.

Well we can always think about it. But I have no doubt. I am not going
to wait to get over any doubt.

Then don't wait, no one is stopping you. My point here is that it's
pointless to speculate. We'll be long gone before it happens. Probably
as a species, but who knows?

Why would anyone doubt?

The first order 'wow' factor is that there is life on earth. Life
that is found elsewhere should only give a secondary 'wow' as we
already know that the process is possible.

A super intelligent entity may perhaps arise, in the far future,
evolved out of a piece of software used as AI on this ng. It is hard
to imagine a future quasi-supreme intelligence evolving and developing
out of early testing of its logic against Porat and Androcles. But I
have no doubts and am not going to wait before believing it is
possible ...
