>>6514671never saw this image, pretty rad. when you consider the vastness of the universe, it's almost certain there is plenty of other intelligent life out there. whether or not we could ever communicate with something, or meet it face to face, that is hard to say. but then again, if something was sufficiently technologically advanced we would probably never even know it was here. i've always thought that perhaps we were some kind of experiment, an outpost of life in some distant corner of the universe away from everyone else. maybe they forgot about us, maybe they developed their own problems. maybe they genetically engineered us, or steered us in a certain direction. maybe they are "those who from heaven to earth came", what our ancestors called gods. maybe we will never be allowed to leave this planet. maybe we are too dangerous. maybe they're among us already, and we don't even know it, pic related.
