The more I see Lisa Kaltenegger in the media the more I get the feeling she is going to end up with egg on her face.

And I am confused, some outlets are saying she works with @setiinstitute, but other media outlets don't mention it at all.

Regardless, she is jinxing it for the rest of us.

Happy First Contact Day! 🖖 Today, April 5, 2063, is the first meeting of humans and an extraterrestrial race when a Vulcan ship lands in Montana (Star Trek: First Contact, 1996)

A Vulcan has emerged from the ship and lowered his hood, revealing his pointed ears. He holds his hand up in a gesture of greeting, saying, “Live long and prosper.”

The midrash: the untold narrative between the moment Riker has to make a decision about inter-planetary intercourse, and the cut to when she is leading him out the door, as she promised in that exchange.

It took a lot to talk Riker into that didn’t it? 😂

He has that great look: past her, then off to the side, considering his options ...

It reminds me of the scene in "Young Frankenstein" at the well, when the little girl says to the monster, "What shall we throw in now?"

Today's review! A Planet of Wrath and Tears by Colin Alexander:

"Strap in and get ready for a wild ride that sidesteps stale first-contact tropes and brings us something fresh, with enough humanity, whiz-bang tech and a roller-coaster of a plot that ends with a bang. A masterful work of modern-day sci-fi."

First Contact Could Turn Out Well for Humanity
First contact with advanced extraterrestrials goes very badly for us. But in reality, how bad could it be? That’s the question a new study examines using game theory and Hobbesian philosophy.

New book review on my website!

The Lathe of Heaven, Ursula K. Le Guin
★★★★★

A surreal tale of dreams changing reality, global stakes anchored by the three people involved. Be careful what you wish for.

You really don’t see many people wear eyeglasses on Star Trek. Krola is one of the few.

    @lothcat sera mentions that the Eugenics Wars might have supposed to happen in 92, which aligns with Spock's original dialogue, but that time almost "pushed back" and reinserted important events after "incursions" which we can decide for ourselves what that includes, like from , , from , or from .

    The big question: if humankind possesses extraterrestrial tech, why hasn’t it been exploited or demonstrated? Some will say it’s because we still haven’t mastered any of it. Others will say it has and we’re living in a changed world without realizing it.
