'We live in a crowded universe.'

Well, I guess the space program really needs to get to work on tracking down Kirk, Spock and the gang to start exploring these strange new worlds.
 
Some perspective.

The Voyager 1 space probe is the fastest man made object, it travels at 17.3km/second. Kepler 22b is 587 light years away from Earth. A light year is 9,460,730,472,580 km distance. It would take the Voyager 1 traveling at 17.3km/s 9,509,400 years to reach Kepler 22b. I just crunched these numbers on my IPAD so it is official..... 17km/s is roughly 16,200 years per light year. 73,000 years to the nearest star which is 4.5 light years away.

That gives you guys plenty of time to practice up on your scotty impressions and alien pimp game. :)

Beam me up, Scotty!

(ever notice, in all the films, the enginner is always a scotsman?)

That's because Jocks are clever buggers and invent most things.

Thank you, now I've got a bloody headache:sick:
 
ET is already here - I have a whole troop full of them. :smile:

Don't give him idea's for goodness sake:sarc:

You’ll have to pass my TSM first. :army:

After reading "ET is already here - I have a whole troop full of them," he'd probably be on my side.:-D

I pinched the beret of my Staff Sergeant pinned it up on a target during a range live fire. He face was a picture when he was handed back a beret that looked like a colander.:mrgreen:

Supreme Overlord sounds good, should be an official RM rank.
@Julie. A really big space probe is an entry requirement for RM Officers.

Nope, the TSM also believes that they are aliens. None of them speak the Queen's English

Try it with my Colour Sergeant and he will deep freeze you with his stare.
