In considering the National Security of the United States, If there be rival nations upon the earth, wouldn't there be rival worlds within the multi-verse? And if so, should NASA be concerned about what we may encounter within interstellar space?

I think no... COL Private RallyPoint Member, I think we need to focus on some other issues first...

I don't think we should be scared per se. I think it is more of a case that we should try to logically predict issues and prepare for them in the best ways we can. From there we should boldly go where no man has gone before (aside from men that were abducted by aliens).

NASA shouldn't be concerned with any life forms outside of our solar system right now. Any advanced life that is capable of cruising around interstellar space is so far beyond our capabilities that it's not something that makes sense to worry about. If they have mastered interstellar travel, they have technologies that make ours look like kids toys. They probably wouldn't have any reason to acknowledge our existence any more than we acknowledge the existence of the worms we pass on the sidewalk.

But, if it'll get NASA some more $$ for research and exploration, I'll take it!

We need to be able to find terrorists without months/years of hiding before we try to find life outside our solar system.

No, not NASA... That is what Starfleet Command is for.

Has America established a base of operations, within our solar system, that sustains life beyond the earth? Your thoughts?

COL Private RallyPoint Member. Are you kidding me? We have enough to do without fake images. Sandy
