sci-fi discussion, if u have something wierd to in ur head post here!!

  • How does point 5 possibly take place? Anyway, I´m sure that they would remeber that they were from "Earth" too.

  • if the planet is 500.000 lightyears away, and the first expedition doesn´t have an FTL drive, it will take them over 500.000 years to get there... so if 100 years later an expedition is sent, there won´t be a forgotten colony there, because the colonist are still on their way...

  • That would mean that we had forgotten out history, but the first ship would take quite a while to get across 500000 lightyears and a FTL ship could be built before it even got there. So they really would be aliens! And than we´d live in peace for a while, but they were really nurotic and wanted to destroy us from the onset. Sad really. We´d have a big war and they´d all die and we´d take thier planet. <img src=smilies/icon_smile_big.gif width=15 height=15 border=0 align=middle> Hey look!

  • the first expedition knows that they come from earth but they did not knoe about the second expedition launching caus they were cryogenically frozen, maybe I´M FAT YOU´RE FAT!

  • I see where you´re going with this... by the time the original expedition arrives at the far-away planet, the second expedition´s been there for ages. Human development being what it is, there would be very significant cultural and linguistic differences, as well as possible evolution/mutations in the gene pool. If you can´t read this, then you´re probably illiterate and have no idea what I´m saying anyway.

    There`s only two types of people who play Freelancer: -Those who think the Sabre is the best ship; -Those who are wrong.

  • I read a story by Heinlein that involved a hermaphrodite and time travel... he/she was his/her own mother, father, and child. If you can´t read this, then you´re probably illiterate and have no idea what I´m saying anyway.

  • hey that happened on an episode of <i>Futurama </i>! Anyway, i have another sci-fi thing in the works. i would have finished it right here but i forgot it at school in my binder I´M FAT YOU´RE FAT!

  • How about if the first expedition got there before the second expedition but a third expedition was sent out before the second expedition and got there after the first expedition but then the second expedition got there before the first expedition but then the third expedition came and the first expedition wasnt there. heh, nah, how about if the first expedition had EVOLVED differently to adapt to the new planet, and the second expedition thought that these evolved thingies were aliens and possible destroyed the first expedition. Of course, all that would be needed to resolve the matter is for the first exp´ to say &quot;OMG WE R HUMANS 2!&quot;

    Tis pure logic, dear lads, to see That I spam less, Far less, Than thee. [img=http://www.desktop-designz.com/imagehosting/pete.jpg]

  • dude, if the third expedition was sent out before the second expedtion then it wouldnt be the third expedition would it? I´M FAT YOU´RE FAT!

  • The chances of there not being anything else in the entire universe are more probable than the chances there aren´t any &quot;others&quot; out thee. Can the fact the earth got all the pieces to fall together perfectly and that happened no where else in the universe make sense to you? Not likely... BTW, @ ):Wolf_Demon<img src=smilies/icon_smile_sad.gif width=15 height=15 border=0 align=middle> , can you pahleeze not post your signature each and every time you add something to a thread you´ve already responded to once? We get it, but it just looks a little class-less to do it over and over and over. Purely my opinion, but it´s sort of irriating too to see that in each of your posts. Unchecking &quot;add signature&quot; is so easy to do. <img src=smilies/icon_smile.gif width=15 height=15 border=0 align=middle> Howsa bout a little courtesy?
