EPA head Pruitt is working on no need for icebreakers.

But then mankind may be wiped off earth, but hey…think of the savings!

re: #193 Big Beautiful Door

This is interesting. Researchers plugging ranges of probability instead of guesses into the Drake Equation predict there is a high probability that we are the only technological species in the galaxy. But the possibility of others isn’t zero, so we should keep looking!

Possible reasons for no detection of other intelligent civilizations:
1. All technological civilizations self-destruct within 100 years. So a lot are created but the evidence of their existence doesn’t overlap with our ability to detect them.
2. After a few years, due to improved technology, planets no longer emit signals that can be detected by others.
3. No reason for intelligent species to be technological.

At one time we thought planetary creation was an extremely rare event.
