A Point of Clarification

Atop the Stoa this afternoon I must expound upon something I wrote the other day. I don't mind expounding. Its the stopping thats the problem.

The other day I talked of Roswell and how an advanced alien race flew all that way just to crash in our desert and end up in our specimen jars.

The angle I was trying to take was this. They can build a ship that can withstand the rigors of space travel, the sheets of radiation that swirl between the stars, pulsars, magnetars and all the other hostile things one can encounter in deep space, and....AND....AND....a lighting bolt or a wind gust in New Mexico wrecks their fancy ride.

Man that sucks. Was the guy drinking and driving at the time when he plowed into the desert floor?

Do they even travel through space? Do they shift through dimensional cracks or "warp" space? Either way, we are talking about technology centuries ahead of us. And yet, the fury of Mother Nature can still swat these things from her skies.

Or, perfect quality control is a mirage and we will be dealing with plane crashes into the deep future.

Think about these things....

Live well.
