Do you believe that people will one day immigrate in space?If yes, how do you imagine life?

... see... now what happens if the aliens start immigrating to America... they could take our jobs in the high-tech sectors and live on welfare and use our medical facilities at no cost... \n\nI propose we build a bubble over the top of the U.S. to keep these intergalactic freeloaders out of the U.S. and off our welfare... \n\nand what if they want to burn our flags or what if the male aliens want to marry other male aliens (even though it's the only way they can reproduce?)... and what if they abort their own children some of the time, because they will often kill them right as they come out of the womb?\n\nThese are all important issues that we will have to face and legislate in the coming years... think hard about it.... \n\nCruise will have his hands full...

I think I'd get a kick out of it.  It would be cool knowing you're the only human being for thousands or millions of miles in any direction.  And imagine the view you'd get of space!  With no atmosphere or cities to screw up your view, the stars would be mind-bogglingly clear.  You'd be able to see the heavens more clearly and more brightly than any human trapped on the ground.\nOn the other hand...  Imagine how hard it is to get a pizza delivered in space.  And I don't even want to THINK about the bathroom facilities.

Space tourism exist these days. As of this year (2006) there have been four space tourists to the International Space Station, each spending more than US$20 million aboard a Russian supply mission. The Russian Federal Space Agency can make everyday people's dream come true as long as the  prize is right and as long as the health and other requirements are met after the training.☺\n\nCheck out this link which contains lists of different organizations or links to what you are looking for:\nhttp://www.umich.edu/~lowbrows/links/index.html#clubs

Yes, but at a much slower rate than humans that are stationary or travelling much more slowly (i.e. life here on earth).\n\nSo if a human being went on a trip to the next star at the speed of light and returned to earth, it will feel to him as if he's gone forward in time by hundreds or thousands of years.

This is a question still under hot debate. Some people believe that there is no way that we can be the only intelligent life in the universe while others (as those who believe that aliens were brought to Area 51) believe that we have already been contacted by aliens on various occassions. Still others hold to the belief that we are the only planet to have either life or intelligent life.\n\nPersonally, I hold to the first belief that, with ALL of the planets in the universe, the odds of statistics are drastically against us being the only form of intelligent life. I believe that we have been checked up on from time to time by space-faring races. Basically, I feel that we have to reach a particular milestone - either in our evolution or in our technology - before we are contacted on a grand scale.\n\nDo I believe the stories about Area 51? I wouldn't put it past the government to try to cover something up if they messed up so badly as to have killed our first ambassadors from the stars, however, I also can't imagine that no one else of that race, were it to have happened, wouldn't have come looking for their lost patrol at some point in time.\n\nI don't believe us to be alone in this vast universe but I do believe that, technology-wise, we are still toddlers & must learn & grow more before we will be allowed to enter the same playground as the other intelligent beings of the universe.

I think of astronauts.

At first, I thought, 'sure' but then I realized that we know enough about Mars and after the excitement of lift off and weightlessness, I would be bored to death traveling for months, walking around in a Mars-suit all day while there, traveling for months to get back with a few oxidized rocks... \n\nSo, just save me a ticket to the ISS and I will be happy to go and spend a few weeks touring around this ol' blue planet.

It's going to be a very clean and sterile world. Imagine a world without telephone poles. No electrical cords of any kind. No gas stations. No super markets. No stores. Why would you need these things when they'll have replicators. Very much like Star Trek. You just tell it what you want and poof there it is. Someday everything will be run off of satellites. I mean everything. From flashlights to your car. If they even have cars. Why would you need a car when you can just think about where you want to be and it happens. Energy will simply be beamed down from satellites. It's a creepy world. They'll look back on us and wonder how we could live a barbaric life as we do. The way things are going though. There's a distinct possibility mankind will kill itself off before then. No doubt there will be a one world order. Maybe even time travel. The future is a scary place.\n.

Oh, yes, I would love to go. Although I would be very nervous, I think that going to the moon would make me feel like I was a part of something bigger, in life. All we know, here, is the earth that we live on. To travel into space, and look back at the earth, would give me such an amazing feeling. I would feel very small, and yet, very large. It would be so beautiful to gain a new perspective on life...life here on earth, and life as it exists in the whole of reality. Space; time; life; tranquility.

I would go. It would be extremely exiting to live on and explore another world. I would go to an asteroid if they told me. Even that would be fascinating. \n\nAs for migrating off world to reduce the population of the world; let´s do some math. Earths population increases with about 100 million per year. With our current level of technology pushed to the limit we could only send out about 100 people a year. So even if we could increase that rate by a million we would only reach zero population growth. Birthcontrol is the only method for keeping the world from getting catastrophically overpopulated. Today the most developed nations in the world already have a near zero, or even negative, population growth.

If you have ever taken a trip to a new place you would understand.  If your passion is Geology and you enjoy going in the field to see and touch the different formations, or if you enjoy Biology and you enjoy collecting new samples to perhaps see an animal that no person has ever seen, or if you are an adventurer who climbs a mountain just because it is there, then you can imagine the lure of space and interplanetary exploration.  This is the passion that drives NASA and our Astronaut corps.  Live to pursue the goals of your dreams, let them drive YOU!\nI would go to where other sentient being are.  I would want to learn about how they see their own social issues and share how we approach ours.  I do believe that one day Humankind will live just like Gene Roddenberry foresaw and portrayed in Star Trek.

If you believe that, I guess some folks will have to live in the Sahara Desert, in the Antartic, and on Mt. Everest.  Enjoy!

Of course, if we can dream it we can do it. There once was a time when we did not have air travel and now look at us, we have supersonic travel. It will happen one day, I hope I am around for all the cool stuff to happen.

Come to think of it... we all know that our planet is an insignificant speck circling an ordinary star, far out on a spiral arm of the Milky Way Galaxy, which is an ordinary congress of a few HUNDRED BILLION stars among at least a HUNDRED BILLION GALAXIES!!!\nWe are still the only intilligent life we know of anywhere. But now humankind has taken a dramatic leap towards a possible demotion. Planet-hunting scientists and astronomers world wide are refining their technique in detecting other planets in far off stars & galaxies. who knows that one day, we may be able to find a world that is much like ours?\nFor now, humanity can bask in its special status as the only life known to be contemplating such questions. Many scientists predicts that this distinction, too, will crumble. But the search for other worlds is not only a quest for kindred intelligenc. it is also about the destiny of human species. Where are we going to be a hundred million years from now? Where will we go, and how will we get there? And how will it change who we are? _end

depends on how the aliens are and how advanced they are. If they came across issues like race, war, discrimination, they probably arent much happier but if they were more like our earth's animals, but with advanced technology I'm sure their life is much better not worrying about being popular, fitting in, crime, etc. etc. we"ll never know until we can travel at light speed though and even then, not in our life span.

*Shrug* Depends on your beliefs. Do you believe in God and an Apococlypse? Do you believe that the current state of affairs in the world is so f^#$ed up that we'll either blow ourselves to pieces, die of disease, over-population, crop failure, or poisoned water before our grandchildren are born? \n\nThe answer is we don't really know. It depends on how wise we become in the next few generations, and whether we (meaning, humanity) can get our enviormental pollution, war-mongering, and population growth under control. Hypothetically speaking our planet won't be destroyed until the sun becomes a red giant in approximately 4.5 to 5 billion years. So humanity, if it never developed space travel, could last that long. But unless major changes are made in the coming fifty to one hundred and fifty years, we may well be facing yet another mass extinction of life on earth (this wouldn't be the first major extinction...).
