Yes the cheetahs name is Henry Catvil
This is interesting as a language quirk. Alien can just mean “different” in English. It doesn’t need to come from space. But English also has extraterrestrial.
As a non native speaker, I had to pause and wonder a bit about “alien”.
Every language is like this. Any given word can mean multiple things.
AFAIK there’s no equivalent word for alien in French. The concept is different. Everything coming from space is automatically extraterrestrial. If it’s coming from earth, it’s just a strange/different species or a different form of life. The vagueness of alien doesn’t translate well in French, unless we use the word ‘alien’.
This little furry is closely related to elephants! A picture of a hyrax on a rock.
You had me at Cavill.
They didn’t warn me that the aliens would be sexy.
This is one of the more confusing Captchas.
42
I’m starting to think that super computer hallucinated, and that the real number was in the millions of species.
16 different Henrys?
British Monarchy in shambles.
Henry…
They are all named Henry…
This feels like the montage at the end of the film that showcases all of life’s beauty that we took for granted in one final feel-good moment as the earth proceeds to get ripped apart and destroyed by completely avoidable and human-originated causes…
Are you trying to say earth life is a cheap knock off of alien life?
“Humans are space orcs.”
can we talk about how pursuit predation is terrifying?
They made a fantastic movie about it: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/It_Follows
(yes)
mMMmmm RAMBUTAN
But mom it will all be dead by time we get back.
Lol because he’s spiderman
Henry is a beautiful man
lol which white guy is that
Sometimes I think about how there’s probably not life at this scale for very many light years in every direction.
I’m not actually superstitious, but if I wrote a fantasy about this idea, it would be that The Garden of Eden was prophetic rather than historical or legendary/mythological. I really hope we don’t get kicked out of Earth for eating all it’s fruit and cast into a galaxy of relative hardship (or worse).
Anyway, I’m going to go touch some grass, pet a dog, and feel gratitude for the experience.
Proxima Centauri is only a handful of lightyears away, and it has planets in inhabitable zones.
Doesn’t mean there is life there, but it’s promising. A space probe sent there, once it arrives, could still fathomably send signals back to earth that could be conceivably used by human researchers.
Of course, if fusion-based acceleration becomes feasible in the next few decades, it would arrive long before any probe we try sending now. So there’s the trade-off…
Well, the world seems not so bad
