What if we met life on mars and we were the intelligent ones...

ITS_A_BADGER

The media seems to be all about the mars rover at the moment and the new pictures from mars are being released to the public. Its freaking amazing that they are pictures from another planet a different world. so it got me thinking what if we did happen to meet another lifeforms on another planet and we were more technology advanced , would we share our technology with them, take them to earth or what would happen???

No, its against the prime directive

We take the natural resources and then kill them for having different beliefs it's how we roll

We can barely share technology amoung nations, we sure as hell wouldnt be sharing it with them unless there was some serious coin involved.

Kill them just to be on the safe side I reckon. You HAVE seen Independence Day/Star Ship troopers ect haven't you. Those ****ers would kill you the first chance they get. Kill em all!!!!

We'd probably call them thickos and poke them with sticks, or sell them ghost estates.

Exploit them for our own benefit. That seems to be human nature.

Feeona

I'd give them Mars bars and tell them they 'help you to work, rest and play'

Depends on if they had any decent natural resources I imagine... money talks.
Look at what happened to the native Indians in America when the technologically more advanced Europeans colonized it.

But more than likely, there would be very strict quarantine rules to avoid any cross-contamination of either planet.
Even probes like Curiosity have strict controls to avoid contaminating Mars with earth microbes.

I wonder would female aliens make good lovers..

...if they are to be more tech savvy than us I don't think there's a whole lot on our little planet that they'd need nor want so there's just no need for contact.

As far as studying us as beings goes there is nothing they couldn't learn from the TV signals we've been beaming out into space for years...although as soon as they caught a glimpse of TV3 they'd probably piss their intergalactic pant's laughing at those earth thicko's and turn right the fcuk around in the other direction:D

BBQ them, grill them, boil them, oven roast with a little honey and some cloves.

There are loads of things we could do with them.

It's highly unlikely we'd be more intelligent so the situation won't arise.

I for for one want to wish our new more intelligent neighbors a warm welcome.

By the time we could get to another planet we'd have no need for they're resources. We would more than likely just study them as it could be a valuable insight into the development of intelligent species.


Either that or we could find a local to speak on our behalf. We would probably pick the stupidest most intoxicated guy we can find, tell him everything in detail and then fall around laughing as he tries to explain it to the rest of his planet from his cardboard box and tinfoil hat. It's what they did to us those alien bastards!

TeddyTedson

Say if we discovered an alien on mars that was very similar to a cow or a sheep. Would we be expected to try and communicate with it or would we just eat it straight away.

How embarrassing in the worlds history would it be if we had footage of the US president doing a live link up with a sheep on Mars.

...there are ~500 million stars in our galaxy and best guestimates are that there are as many galaxies too - it is highly likely that there are many higher civ's out there

edit - yeak your post reads wrong - i fink you missed a comma somewhere im confuzed:(

Bloody martians coming over here, taking our jobs and women? nah.

Well the episodes would have been really rubbish had they just packed up and fécked off back to star based 175653132132132131321321321321321ABC every time it came up.

Not so sure about that... the recycled water on board would probably be approaching 100% urine by then.

Wipe out the population to a manageable size then enslave them for natural resources extraction

I just realised I missed an opportunity to say, "Boil 'em, mash 'em, stick 'em in a stew!"

That's still an assumption. It's likely that only a particular part of a galaxy could produce a habitable zone.

The moon has also been instrumental in the development of life on earth so simply having an earth sized planet the right distance from a sun may not be enough.

Going by the history of this planet the human race is simply bizarre. We were a fluke that almost never happened. It's also likely drug use played a big part in our development from any other animal into a sentient being. If they don't have drugs on their planet any life that forms may never get to our level.

It seems highly likely that there is life out there but sentient life is such a long shot it could be very, very, very rare rather than an inevitable outcome of life.
