It already is a quote. I am not sure when, but I have heard it many times before. I *think* it may be Einstein.

Re: Does Life Exist
I have found links giving credit to that quote to Yoggi Berra, and to JAN L.A. VAN DE SNEPSCHEUT, a
Dutch-American computer scientist and educator (1953 - 1994)
Have not determined difinitivly if it's either of them, or someone else entirely.

Re: Does Life Exist
we are not going to another solar system soon
1. Yes there are planets that can harvist life out there, but they are far apart.
2. We dont see them and the optics to see them will need a very wide base line.
3. Multi generation ships are very very risky. In all societies there are distructive people. You would need a lead room for people and food to hide from radiation. Thats alot of lead so we would probably have to make a really good magnetic field instead.
4. no gravity and the inertia idea dosnt work.
i am not saying it wont happen
and with mars there just is not a reason to do it until we have micro machines that can turn rust and CO2 into steel and O2

Re: Does Life Exist
What do you mean by #4?
With "zero" gravity, inertia becomes more important, but certainly not stronger or weaker.
