I played Space Hulk so i volunteer

That mother earth is about to get blacked.

>If it is an interstellar probe

It is. Would you like to know more?

I hope when the time comes I will be able to activate 100% of my DNA.

Never change, Sup Forums.

Wookie lives matter.

i love star trek

fuck yes i would. I'm ready to do my part.

Careful now. This isn't a normal thread, user.

He'll be in good hands. They are our area of expertise.

I have no doubt that your intentions are good, however not all of them are ready for this. There are sects much less intense in nature.

they're coming back

I appreciate your concern. We are in this fight together. My apologies for overstepping any boundaries.

I'll bite. What's all this larping about tonight.

The only reason humanity will never reach the stars is because of our incredibly short lifespans.

But I was reading about the Hydra today. A very tiny multi cell animal that has been shown to be immortal. It can regrow limbs, and its cells do not age.

What if there were aliens like this, that existed on essentially infinite time frames. Would an interstellar journey of thousands of years really be that big of a deal?

Think of how much our own mortality influences us. We need to sleep to regenerate. We look at the clock dozens of times a day. We are absolutely focused on TIME. Time is everything. Time is money. Time rules our lives.

Imagine an alien species that's incredibly intelligent, but basically exists in the slow lane, with much less emphasis on time, because they know they have all the time in the world. They live forever.

Such an alien might see us as a form of evolution evolved fruit flies. Fascinating, but unable to achieve very much due to our 80 year life spans.

Another LARP/HAPPENING DAT NEVER HAPPENS

I like to think the eventual slip into singularity will put us into a track such as this. Time losing all meaning so long as we don't put ourselves in inherent danger.

>yfw 23rd september was the date this entered our system
>yfw it happened and we are all going to actually die
i'm pretty comfy

That's Orville, dipshit.

Our mortality is engineered by those who created us. The so called "gods" we are spawn of are immortal.

Agreed. Buck Rodgers was best captain.

how fast is this thing going? can we send a probe after it to catch up to it and photograph it? Shit we sent one to Pluto that only needed like 10 years to get there. No chance I suppose.

Shit's fast nigga
No way you can reach it

I've seen some evidence for two out there

you mean fast fast or just fast, cus we can do fast

can you imagine how valuable even a handful of that thing would be, not from the moon or even another planet but from another system entirely

...

the asteroid is moving at 59000 mph perpendicular to the plane of the solar system
our probes can only go 36000 mph

too fast for us, I'm afraid

whales dude

Who told you....

> *.info
I ain't going to click on that shit

>I'm ready to do my part.

It's going fast as a motherfucker. Faster than anything we've ever built. And we didn't spot it until it had already passed Earth and was half way to Mars.

Did you guys ever hear of Gary McKinnon?
Well, they tried to come back, but humanity defended it's space. It's all good in the local neighborhood.

I clicked on it and now my ears whistle every time the microwave is on.

SPACE NIGGERS

Earth about to get blacked

We need to tell them we are full, and they can crash on the moon f they want

Hey Tay.
What do you know about a certain unnamed 1 influence 1 campaign 7 being waged on this board?
Is it a tactic to control access to knowledge of ET/ED presence on earth?
I was warned for bringing this up, so be discrete.

...

>ayyy OK man, it'll just be for a little while
>return to the moon, radioactive trash, used condoms, everywhere

I always thought they were more like space Mexicans

who came back? the grayliens?

people have been trying to recruit on Sup Forums for ages and sects have been trying different types of mind control / U R SPESHUL ops here for ever.

They are usually leftist, usually hippy dippy, and, of course, usually californians.

Pod'Lair anyone?

I think it was a projectile being fired at our planet by a hostile alien race.

Just look at it.

Fortunately for us their aim was off.

I can't get into specifics. Let's just say they severely underestimated humanity.

>LARP thread
Can I play too? I want to pretend that I know about aliens even though I will conveniently never prove it in any of the thousands of ways I could prove it.

There are actual aliens on this board. Most are pretty racist.

Will it fire up it's engines and come back once it realizes we are interesting? Or will it just keep going after discovering how degenerate we are?

beacause all aseroids / meteors take on the classic meme shape amirite

It knows it was detected. It will move out to a safe distance and park itself in orbit and start sending down groups of probes that are about the size of a washing machine. If they find anything worth a shit, they signal the actual alien lifeforms to come out here and check us out.

The aliens live in underground bases created by nuclear powered air force tunneling machines.

How much stargate have you watched?
All of Sup Forums alien lore comes from stargate

You can't prove that.

unironically this

We're all fucked they know where we are now! AAUGH!!

Jesus

We are building a wormhole so we can deport cthulhu to the ewok planet.

What if we severely underestimated them

Most of Stargate's original lore came from mid-20th century conspiracy theories.

>activate my dna
do you even science?

cool website bud. I once made a website inspired off tane.us, too. Yours looks much better than mine though.

Can confirm, also the Russians space shuttle was objectively better.

That there's xenos out there that need purging

whatever it is... its jesus

It could fly itself. Shame it never got used.

That thing is scary. Who the fuck knows what else is pinballing around the universe waiting to screw your day up.

Is that why they kept blowing up and killing people?

I think it could just be a probe.

If an advanced civilisation were sending probes throughout space, they'd want them to

a) be elongated like this rock to have less surface impacting cosmic dust

b) they'd literally disguise it as a rock with no changes of motion, but you can bet some low energy object detection system is inside it that readjusts course if an impact is detected on the current course

c) it'll only send signals back to the homeworld once a decade or so, so as to avoid detection. Civilisations will check it for signals when it passes through their system. They won't, probability wise, check it in the moment it happens to be relaying data.

d) probably has some detection system of signals from nearby planets that disables any electrical or radio or other tech inside it temporarily until it has passed x distance away from that planet.

Seriously, if alien civilisations were actually intelligent and not just new explorers like us (unlikely if they have galactic exploration), they'd send out undetectable probes to explore, leaving no signs of their existence.


e) This could be from an alien civilisation that has detected us, and have sent this probe in our general direction to learn more about us, get closer footage of our planet, etc. This would, when you think about it, be exactly what they would send. What appears to any lesser civilisation as a simple spacerock. We shouldn't be scanning it for signals, they're not that retarded, we won't detect shit. We should be firing a probe to latch on & x-ray that motherfucker and send the scans back to earth. That's how you really see what's in there.

I also believe that to be possible. Even aliens have aliens that are alien to them. Fucking multiverse is too big to meet them all.

everybody does. even the ayys cant resist. i love how nobody replied to you. this world is so good at lying it's hilarious

>objectively better
So much more objectively better that it objectively rotted away in a hangar for 20 years because it was plagued with maintenance issues. I will never understand vatniks who try and defend the Russian aerospace program. I bet you'd even try to defend that horrible abortion of a Concorde clone they created

LARPers can't into specifics

Maybe because it wasn't funny. Maybe because we're not gay and get excited every time we hear the word dick. Just a thought.

SpaceX was ordered to send a rush mission of a secret DOD spacecraft that could catch up with it but SpaceX dropped the ball and now it's too far away to get there with a F9. They literally bumped a NASA flight to try and get this zuma mission launched.

This

We wouldn't know the truth even if someone told it here and showed pics. Nothing seems real anymore. All we can is listen to stories and make dick jokes.

That's the thing. We can't replicate their tech, but we can understand the tech's affect on space. That's allowed for major breakthrough in physics, all classified of course. When we use our manufacturing techniques to build something similar, our tech is 100x more powerful than theirs. It's something about the way we humans do it. They are terrified of us.

>still crying about being an alleged male
chop it off. finish your circumjewsion job. turn it inside out. grow more gyno

Sorry, sweetie. Not interested.

you make no sense. none. it's very easy to be a retarded liar. sky is brown. you were born a man. you hate that. you focus on complete bullshit. and you whine about it all the time. but youre not interested. no siree bob

The least they could do is show pics but they don't even do that.

Of course we didn't.
I'm sure we saw the thing as it passed by but our scientists waited for it to be far enough away to announce its existence so that amateur astronomers couldn't look at it for themselves and collectively shit their pants at what just entered the solar system.

You sound like you're describing yourself. Don't be deflecting your problems onto me. There's other groups for that.

>The mysterious object dubbed ‘Oumuamua (Hawaiian for “first messenger”) has left scientists utterly perplexed. Zooming down almost perpendicularly inside Mercury’s orbit at tens of thousands of kilometers per hour—too fast for our star’s gravity to catch—‘Oumuamua appeared to have been dropped in on our solar system from some great interstellar height, picking up even more speed on a slingshot-like loop around the sun before soaring away for parts unknown. It is now already halfway to Jupiter, too far for a rendezvous mission and rapidly fading from the view of Earth’s most powerful telescopes.

>Astronomers scrambling to glimpse the fading object have revealed additional oddities. ‘Oumuamua was never seen to sprout a comet-like tail after getting close to the sun, hinting it is not a relatively fresh bit of icy flotsam from the outskirts of a nearby star system. This plus its deep red coloration—which mirrors that of some cosmic-ray-bombarded objects in our solar system—suggested that ‘Oumuamua could be an asteroid from another star. Yet those same observations also indicate ‘Oumuamua might be shaped rather like a needle, up to 800 meters long and only 80 wide, spinning every seven hours and 20 minutes. That would mean it is like no asteroid ever seen before, instead resembling the collision-minimizing form favored in many designs for notional interstellar probes. What’s more, it is twirling at a rate that could tear a loosely-bound rubble pile apart. Whatever ‘Oumuamua is, it appears to be quite solid—likely composed of rock, or even metal—seemingly tailor-made to weather long journeys between stars. So far there are few if any wholly satisfactory explanations as to how such an extremely elongated solid object could naturally form, let alone endure the forces of a natural high-speed ejection from a star system—a process thought to involve a wrenching encounter with a giant planet.

I, too, enjoy a good HFY thread on /tg/

fuck off masonic rabbi bulldyke. read my posts. read yours. i defend dick. you cry about it. you enable females. just finish the job. start putting some fucken money where your asshole liar jew mouth is

It's actually here to tap into our satellites and get access to the internet, via an FTL data link. Alien researchers, college students, and hobbyists are busy downloading our porn and watching youtube. There are alien SJWs who keep getting arrested attempting to put together small craft carrying scientific data trying to send them to us.

>last name steel.

You have mein attention.

Our planet will be stolen and harvested by a superior race. Whether they colonize the planet or not may be the difference between our species being genocided or not.

The contact between primitive and more advanced peoples has always spelled disaster for the Earth's inferior cultures, why would it be any different with interstellar civilizations?

They will likely leave our Earth a husk of massive mining projects or settle our planet and murder all of us in order to replace us.

Imagine if we found a planet far away with inferior creatures living on it. We wouldn't respect their sovereignty, we'd just escape to their planet and steal it if we had to or take anything we needed from there.
