We can't defend ourselves if there is a race with warp technology or is capable of interstellar travel. By the time we take aim and ready our nukes its already over.

More importantly we're to busy fighting ourselves on our own planet. I welcome any aliens that will teach us a lesson.

I don't mind being a pet if it means to stay alive. I'll learn their language and fight back like in that movie, Battlefield Earth. Who is with me!?

Ok so lets say Aliens where to come and attack us tomorrow. After a long ass battle we lose they take us over and capture us.

Now to the question!. Would you be more happy to be their food or to be their pets?.

And no the is no 3rd option of running and fighting as in this case we have already done that and lost  .


If aliens have the tech to travel from light years away  they would squash us out in a day. Sometimes when people talk about aliens, I don't think they understand how much more advanced they will be then us.  They could be sitting right next to you and you wouldn't even sense there presence. Think about how much they would have to know to travel that far. We can't even get to mars. Our nearest star Alpha Centauri is 4 light years away. Meaning if you where traveling at the speed of light ( 186,000 miles per second or  670 616 629 miles / hour) you wouldn't make it there for 4 years. They would have to live very, very, very long or could have basically master there health and are pretty much immortal.  Or they could have  figured out how to bend time and space and use warp holes. These findings and the point that they have mastered space travel like this means they are on another level then us completely.

So they might genetically engineer us or who knows what but I suspect they might not even care about us at all. We would be so stupid to them, it's like you walking around and looking at every single ant on the ground.  Either way, what ever they wanted to do, you wouldn't have much choice in the matter.

There are other scenarios possible, like a last ditch effort to save the species from a doomsday scenario (eg Stephen Baxter's Flood/Ark) or exploration by automated ships controlled via quantum teleportation
But yes, by the time they do manage to get here they'll probably have been observing us for quite some time, and will be prepared for anything. And it is extremely unlikely that an alien race will be around the same level of technology as we are, considering the rapid advancements in knowledge versus the age of the universe. We went from rubbing sticks together to beginner space explorers in a geological blink of an eye.

The aliens will have to be immune to earth Atmosphere. The amount of bacteria, viruses and diseases swarming all over the place would kill anything out of this world I think. That is our best defense. Otherwise they'll need suits. We can kill them with aids lol

Why would they eat us? Would u like to eat them if we won the battle? There would be only one outcome from invasion, the same as always. Death or slavery. They are watching us for years so they know how we do it...

I'd rather have an alien as a pet myself.

BUT NOT THIS ONE!


omfg blarp.... actually made me reel in pain irl seeing that thing. I've watched that movie in the cinema and have it on dvd... just for its cringe value.

Whats so scary about this alien?? xD

He is Blarp, the little CGi alien that Penny finds on the human ship in the future when they make a blind jump...... IN LOST IN SPACE, I'm asshamed I still remember the characters names from that cringefest :D but... yeah was after Friends and the thought of Matt le blanc in space couldn't be a bad thing.



Why not check me out on youtube and help me on the way to 2k subs over at www.youtube.com/stormcloudlive

actually since the aliens will have to be a completely different form of life, i doubtv that our viruses and deseases will affect them at all.

which also begs the question if we will even work as a food source for them.



“It appeared that there had even been demonstrations to thank Big Brother for raising the chocolate ration to twenty grams a week. And only yesterday, he reflected, it had been announced that the ration was to be reduced to twenty grams a week. Was it possible that they could swallow that, after only twenty-four hours? Yes, they swallowed it.”
