PostNouveau posted:Isn't Mercury covered in poison? Or is that Venus? Venus is a hell hole thanks to the thick atmosphere which ensures planetwide 1000F degree temps. The only possible life on Venus would be in the atmosphere, floating high above that molten hell.

redshirt posted:Yes but more. There's a satellite above it right now proving there are areas of Mercury that are perpetually shaded and there's plenty of water ice in these locations. dude...there ain't nothing but extremes and vacuum on merc, the moon has perpetually shaded ice too

possible options 1. aliens exist 1a. deem us too hilarious to kill because that would end their schadenfreude 1b. deem us too pathetic to live 2. aliens don't exist 2a. species that is the universe's peak in intelligence is the same that routinely struggles to come up with maximum 140 characters to describe their feelings on the latest episode of big brother Every possible option is hilarious

I believe life is galactic and occurs wherever there is water on a solid body - but maybe even water clouds in space.

Look, I love nature and science as much as anyone but I think you've lost touch with just how astoundingly unlikely life is.

pretty obvious we come from mars originally. cydonia, anyone? lol. there was an ancient war and there was a planet that got blowen up, now its the asteroid belt. then we hosed up that planet and went to this one. and we're doing a good job here too. read prison plant for more info dox.

Okay you know what, this is a salient point. I'm of the opinion that things just haven't been ticking long enough for life to have spread all over the place it can and assumed you were advocating a position that life had arisen on all those lovely places. If we find life elsewhere in the SS, I'll be more astounded if it isn't our cousins.

Yeah sure I wouldn't be surprised at all if we do discover some microbe in the ice of Europa and its DNA is perfectly compatible with ours. Then we discover the same on Mars, the Moon, asteroids, etc, and we come to realize life spread like dandruff over the entire SS. But from what?

Basically every star has some number of planets and each of those planets will have some numbers of moons and B. We keep finding life in ever more extreme situations. Microbes that live 4 miles underground and eat rock.

And that needs to be tested. And it's testing all the way down. Cuz there ain't no fixing the Webb once she's launched.

Negative Entropy posted:Getting the proper ingredients and environment for basic life emerging is a herculean task Granted I'm thinking about complex, self-reflective life in general but even a 'simple' self replicating molecule is beyond the pale when it comes to trying to imagine the possible outcome space of random energy in a vacuum

That form of life is common. So called sentient life, otoh, is no doubt rare. What - once every 500 stars or so?

In hundreds of millions of years of complex life Earth has had one instance of an advanced species capable of launching satellites and making internet porn, and there's a good argument to be made that intelligence could prove to be a fast track to a dead end. Sure we only have a sample size of one, but that one sample covers a lot of time.

A CRUNK BIRD posted:Hm yeah it would only be the most important discovery in the history of the world if they were like a little closer. human being 100 light years is pretty loving close. Bur I'm not saying it'll be any less of an important scientific discovery just because the distances are impossible at this point in time. I'm saying as a general populous, we're not likely to see anything result from that discovery within our lifetimes unless they've been waiting and can cross that vast distance easily or we make some kind of ridiculously huge technological breakthrough.
