Do we want another Earth like planet in order to have somewhere to go to when we're done screwing this one up, or are we hoping to find life out there, life like us... not some micro life, but you know a "human like" being?<BR/>From what I can tell - our government has spent so much time covering the idea that there are E.T.'s, how would we ever get them to admit they had found other real "life" on another Earth like planet??TheUltimateCynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04580144132952211103noreply@blogger.com
