Nice to see that NASA is being open about this subject!

Knock on wood!

NASA Admits Alcubierre Drive Initiative: Faster Than The Speed Of Light | Collective-Evolution

This is fascinating, but the quote l found in this material is even more remarkable.

This topic has recently had another media explosion and congress recently discussed and looked at evidence for Earth like planets recently found by Kepler Telescopes. Three "super-Earths" to be exact that are most probably teeming with life
It seems that NASA is saying that life out there is a sure thing, especially considering Keplar has only found a few so far, and the sheer numbers of stars out there, mean there are more, (especially taking into account, small moons).


So finding intelligent life out there with this tech, or closer to home should be of no real surprise!


If we can get to Bernard Star, (4.2 light years away) in a few weeks with this, instead of 50 years or more, then they can do the same thing.

    I heard on a news broadcast on the radio just today that there could be millions of planets with life on them just in the Milky Way Galaxy. Unfortunately I was only half listening, so I don't know who said that. Maybe someone else heard it and can identify the source.

    Personally I believe there are but nevertheless its conjecture, not anything near a sure thing. We don't yet have how life formed on our own planet down yet so any calculation of how abundant it is is still premature.

    Shane; It seems highly likely that the galaxy is teeming with life. Life is a result of chemistry, and the chemistry is the same everywhere.

    So if the planet has liquid water, and the planet isn't bombarded with radiation (solar, cosmic, an atmosphere and magnetic field would help)....I'm guessing that life eventually finds a way to appear. But Mike is right..it's all conjecture...even from astrophysicists. We simply don't have the data.

    But intelligent life? With technology? That seems like it's a lot harder.

    But I'll give you this one. We know so little about what's in deep space...your guess is as valid as mine.

    You know what's exciting to me? Soon we will be able to see other planets around other stars. Not just estimate their position, size, temperature, orbit...on how the star wobbles and the difference in light as the planet passes in front of the star...but see the planet.

    I hope I live that long.

    What if they're not stars? What if they are holes poked in the top of a container so we can breath?

      Oh man, me too. I've often thought it would be the ultimate adventure to be able to "magically" zoom through space and see other planets up close. I'm sure there are an uncountable number of amazing things to see.
