Rocket fuel is nice and all, but take a look at the amount of rocket fuel it takes to get the shuttle in the air.  You need something more efficient and powerful.

Either we haven't found that source yet, or we don't have it.


If we don't have it, why would they come here for it?


One of the cool things about the Orion Project was that it could concievably have been done with relatively low-tech materials. And lots of nukes.

We would have been to Mars already if it wasn't for the environmental Nazi's who put a stop to the project...


Geeesh  a little radiation fallout and everyone goes crazy...

Ok for one just beacuse we kill every thing we don't understand, doesn't mean an alien race would, second what if they come here to be friends not strip our resources? third, what if they're friendly? I wouldn't want to make a friendly alien mad that has mastered space flight, he has probally also mastered the cosmic death ray too.

Anybody else read this book?


You got me rememberin'. I never read a work of fiction twice but I did enjoy that series a lot and it's been over 20 years since I read 'em. Might just have to try readin' 'em again.

DMF, just like any other person or living being we know of, the only reason they would go somewhere else (I.E. From their planet to ours) is if they need something or hope to gain something from the connection.

The only two probable scenarios
If ‘aliens’ are hostile, all humans will die.
If not, then they will ignore earth until we are less technologically challenged.

Who says they have to be advanced? Maybe at the moment we are the most advanced and next in line is a caveman world. Where they are about as aware of us, as they are a zebra type animal on another continent in their world.

If the resource they need is water, we're screwed.
My mind is a raging torrent, flooded with rivulets of thought cascading into a waterfall of creative alternatives.

So you are assuming that the aliens would be human?
