The solution to the Fermi Paradox is most likely that we do not have the technological capabilities to scan our galaxy to detect life or technological signatures. To further complicate things if some civilisations are hostile then they are going to want to hide themselves from “others” who are not their friends. Their technologies could be so advanced that they can somehow sit outside the electromagnetic spectrum or alter it in such a way that when we view star systems with our instruments we see nothing at all.
Marijn fly well I’m sorry for starters it was well before 75 years that nuclear threats were made. Second if they weren’t launched in the Cuban missile crisis or by a “crazy North Korean leader(s)” it is very unlikely they will be launched tomorrow. And finally not all civilisations would end up destroying themselves when they’ve reached technological superiority.
Even if life is rare, I rather Think its arrogant to presume we are unique. Whilst the sentiment is very human, statistically, with the size of the Universe, it just seems highly unlikely. If the Universe has very little intelligent and evolved life, then we might never have “first contact”. If the Universe is teeming with lntelligent life, we might very Well be a backwater planet, in a backwater Galaxy, in. A backwater part of the Universe, and just be incredibly primitive, not worthy of any contact or attention, before we discover tech thats far beyond even our most ridiculous science fiction. Most of our tech and science has been formed in the last 500 years. Compared to the universal timeframes thats just an incredibly miniscule time.
Thanks for continuing to entertain and engage us over these last few years. When my dad died three years ago, the first few nights were the hardest and loneliest but you were here. You helped me to think about something else even if it was only a few minutes at a time. Now my dog has passed and you are here for me again. You are a blessing John. Thanks man.
I am sorry for your loss. I went thru this a few years ago and now again with multiple losses within a month or two of each other. Sometimes life just sucks yet something like this really does help. Thank you to the Event Horizon crew.
The Rainbow Bridge inspired by a Norse legend "By the edge of a woods, at the foot of a hill, Is a lush, green meadow where time stands still. Where the friends of man and woman do run, When their time on earth is over and done. For here, between this world and the next, Is a place where each beloved creature finds rest. On this golden land, they wait and they play, Till the Rainbow Bridge they cross over one day. No more do they suffer, in pain or in sadness, For here they are whole, their lives filled with gladness. Their limbs are restored, their health renewed, Their bodies have healed, with strength imbued. They romp through the grass, without even a care, Until one day they start, and sniff at the air. All ears prick forward, eyes dart front and back, Then all of a sudden, one breaks from the pack. For just at that instant, their eyes have met; Together again, both person and pet. So they run to each other, these friends from long past, The time of their parting is over at last. The sadness they felt while they were apart, Has turned into joy once more in each heart. They embrace with a love that will last forever, And then, side-by-side, they cross over… together."
Your video's are amazing John, your questions and insight is out of this world and yes you frequently help me sleep. Cheers mate from NZ. Finally of course were not alone its just that we've not had the time or correct methods to detect or be detected by our cosmic neighbors. You should have millions of subscribers mate, keep it up.
Great stuff. Many thanks! I imagine the galactic email Marshall mentions would refer to an attached history of the universe, and 20,000 years later the next email would say, "Sorry, now actually with the attachment".
There's something I've always said... Let's say we've been visited during the time the dinosaurs were around. They collected some samples, maybe stayed a few days and then left. What kind of evidence would be realistic to hope to find? We wouldn't find any. Absolutely none! Anyway, another FANTASTIC interview, John! Thanks a bunch! 😃 Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
I discovered the event horizon during the lockdown, together with closer to truth, ash Arvin, SEA, cool world's, and I must say awesome content, these channels have been a life send, and goddiers channel
I pick a playlist on here or JMG and hit shuffle every night on low volume. I get really into the convo and then out of nowhere I’m asleep. It’s awesome, thanks for the channels!
That’s great. You should look at the clips channel. We’re doing compilation videos that are two hours or longer. Where is Everyone? Fermi Paradox Marathon | John Michael Godier and Stephen Webb th-cam.com/video/3EBJCGS10IA/w-d-xo.html
29:38 - that works under the assumption that they would choose to reach out to us as we are now; it may be, assuming the assertion to be accurate, they may well be monitoring us, but waiting for us to reach a societal or technological level where first contact is actually acceptable. We may be too unpredictable or immature societally or technologically to be of interest, or first contact occurs at such a stage because previous trends in first contact have gone wrong at certain other stages, for reasons we may as yet be unaware of or unable to comprehend.
Your voice is soothing. I always fall asleep listening to your channel, but next day when I am awake I listen from beginning to again to actually listen and learn something new. But yeah, I am guilty of falling asleep while listening to you talk. You really have nice, peaceful and soothing voice. To be honest, I could fall asleep while listening to absolutely any topic you cover.
Well, if extraterrestrial technology is as advanced as ours or less advanced than our technology, we wouldn't be able to detect them. For all we know, there could be an extraterrestrial race on a planet in the Alpha Centauri system for example, yet it could technologically be in their version of the medieval period and thus we'd be unable to detect them.
@@alexcorrea4828 Well we understand a lot of the universe and its all the same universe in every direction. Its a bit like saying maybe most stars are just stars we can't see or recognise as being stars. Sure such bizarre forms of life could exist but it seems far less likely than there being lifeforms that are at the very least recognisable to us.
@@nutyyyy the fact that you said we understand a lot of the universe, I can't even have a debate with you if you're uneducated... We don't even know how big it is let alone anything about it
If we are a simulation, it would be a really good time for our creators to reveal themselves as we have reached the level of sophistication and technogical complexity worthy of their creation. Let the curtains peel back and show us these beings of genesis.
I believe he’s right about asteroid mining it’s just too hard now, distances, spare parts, shipping material back. But the moon is close and has Helium 3 which may prove to be more valuable than precious metals.
Because of the speed of light factor, we don't really know what our own galaxy looks like in " REAL TIME" because everything observed is thousands of light years old by the time we see it. Civilizations may be around but we won't get the signals, which brings up a deeper philosophical question, does the past still actually exist, just in a different time frame? do people who we loved and died long ago still exist in their own respective time frame?
Imagine Aliens sending us their golden record with all pictures, files, videos, their own knowledge.. What kind of effect it could've had on us if that record was found by us and translated due to Aliens being extremely advanced?
I’ve often pondered that many a civilization could have come and gone multi millions of years ago. As the professor stated, life is effervescent. Maybe we are a day late and a dollar short. Or…. Too early?
I wish you would interview Chris McKay on Mars. As a kid I was extremely interested in mars. I went to an agriculture focused high school and we all got really into mars at the time. I attended a few talks from Chris McKay and met him a few times. He's one of the best experts on mars and the search for life there. It would be an amazing show if you did. Great content as always. Love your channel and appreciate all the work you do. All the best
Same! Love playing this channel to fall asleep to... If you could create a video playing the intro music on a loop that would be amazing as it sends me off so quickly and I really struggle with my sleep! Keep up the good work!
I remember, from waaaay back, a book being published on this idea. I think it was called something along the lines of 'The Priman Hypothesis'. I can't find a single trace of it though.
The sad reality, based on the single fact alone that NASA never followed up on the labeled release experiment, is that NASA doesn’t want to find life on Mars - or at least not yet. This isn’t a conspiracy theory. Great video JMG.
So ok, once or twice i might've fell asleep while tuning in....but normally im too focused and interested. I jus play some rainfall sounds after while i consider the topics you and your guests have discussed.
How has this channel only got 230k subscribers? It is sad when I see other channels with 1million+ putting out absolute rubbish. There is definitely no correlation with quality and the amount of subscribers.
What an absolutely mind boggling thought that a species may exist that was around before even the birth of our solar system. And perhaps around for even billions of years before our solar system. I mean, they'd be so advanced that forget about whether they're watching us or not, what if they *created* us and all the life on our planet, they created our Sun, all our planets etc? Can you imagine?!
I’m sorry that people find your content relaxing and helps them fall to sleep. Personally, I find your content to be riveting and fascinating…how can that fall you to sleep?!
I have a question about Lunar mining. As we mine it, it starts to change the mass of the moon, lets's leave Tides and Earth's wobble changing aside for now. Could the Mass change to a point where Earth's pull on the moon get great enough to cause the moon to start heading towards Earth which will lead to a collision?
I don't think so. The Moon has so much material that it would take hundreds or thousands of years of mining for the Moon to lose a significant amount of mass to have reduced gravity.
@@sciencerscientifico310 I was interested if it was possible. But I wouldn't want that to be a thing because Humanity has proven that they are incapable of stopping something in time.
No, it doesn't matter if we mine half of the moon, or even 99% of it. Orbits are defined based on the speed, and the mass of the parent body. If anything, mining the moon would be safer than mining Earth.
With all that's going on in the world, you and your podcast offers a little bit of hope. Hope that one day humanity will be able to look past it's pathetic squabbles and focus on something greater. A bit closer to home is the thought that there are actually people out there who think about these things rather than war or the expansion of territory.
As far as Solar Sails go, I have a somewhat simple/strange question. If we send these little probes out with big light sails, we expect that the pressure of the solar radiation will push them away. But when they approach a star, won't the solar radiation from that star also push the sail away from it? Obviously I'm aware that there are ways to ensure one side of the sail is more "absorbent" (as far as transferring the radiation into kinetic energy) while the other can reflect the radiation away. I'm just thinking that, since the probes are so small, the radiation of the "destination" star would be enough to shove the sail away way. That would especially be the case if the probe is approaching a star with a higher output than the star which propelled the sail initially. Maybe I'm just an idiot...
I start your video so I can go to sleep and this is your sponsor!? Love your podcasts, but try to be considerate at the end of your show. I sometimes find myself waking up at the end due to loud sounds
Not necessarily. However. What's the odds that life originated after the late heavy bombardment. What if what helped caused the late heavy bombardment was a star that wandered near our solar system and that star had a planet that had life. It might have helped to seed life on earth.
21:20 i'm sorry to jump in with a snyde comment but, ANY "solution" to the fermi paradox that involves a pre-condition on "everybody" in the universe adhering to a certain doctrine or belief structure, simply can not be true. If a singular civilization can, however unlikely, have a differing opinion, the entire theory falls apart. So in this example, the idea that "Maybe everybody is afraid of contamination, so they all isolate their planets", simply can not be true, because if a single civilization does NOT behave like this, "everybody" is now shattered, and any such theory needs "everybody" to withhold the test of time. It's like treating human beings the same way. If you say "maybe everybody is afraid of germs, so they isolate themselves and never meet in large groups", this simply cannot be true, because you'll always have at least a handful of people who DONT share that belief, fear, or doctrine. Frankly, it's better to simply throw out any and all (probably 95% of the "solutions" to the fermi paradox) ideas that rely on the precondition of "everybody" in the universe behaving in the same way. Sure, something COULD be true locally, and "locally" might be an entire galaxy in this case. If we speak in sci-fi terms, like in the games Mass Effect, perhaps there is a looming enormous danger of self-replicating AI machines drifting in the void, waiting to pick up signals from civilizations, until they cleanse that world, and repeat the cycle for eons. So perhaps the only surviving civilizations here have learnt, and agreed, to limit their emissions. But even so, this is NOT a solution to the fermi paradox, because not "everybody" adheres to this. Any visitor from outside our galaxy, would not know, and would come in "ghettoblaster screaming". And we ourselves, are proof that this solution isnt true. WE aren't quiet, WE are blasting out our radio signals into the void without worry. Thus, even if there WAS a "local" agreement to keep quiet, still not everybody is in on it, we're not in on it. So then some other nearby civilization WOULD inevitable detect our signals, or we'd detect them, the few young ones foolish enough to keep transmitting, before the machines have reached their worlds to snuff them out. So even then there would still be signals travelling through space. Even within a self-imposed quarantine zone.
It was only a little over 100 years ago that the wright brothers took the first airplane flight. We are still crawling out of the cradle when we look at the universal time scale.
One thing I have always been amazed by is how you get to that? Coffee is the one that baffles me the most. You need to roast and grind the beans and then add boiling water, how do you get there? :O
When you guys were talking about eating poisonous berries and thinking the motivation is desperation I’m reminded of circumcisions. Jews eventually figured out if you circumcise on a certain day after birth there is less blood loss and thus safer. But there was no desperation driving this practice when it comes to survival, they were willing to do something dangerous on a large scale because they wanted to.
I love the idea of an observation post waiting in our system for us to pass some boundary in technological development. The question would be then if passing that benchmark would be an invitation to join the party or setting off an alarm to destroy us or conquer us?
@@williamblack4006 Thats not at all what I was saying. Did you go searching for comments to fit that dumb narrative? I've heard this crap before from Christians trying to accuse athiests of having a replacement for god, you could not be more incorrect. And I'm not gonna argue with you, because you're already dead set on that moronic opinion.
@@dylanfoster7037 I'm an atheist myself. What could possibly motivate a civilization to cross light years, then set up an advance base ostensibly with the purpose to either destroy us or conquer us -- the supposition makes no rational sense. It couldn't be for territory -- the galaxy is a hundred thousand light years across. It couldn't be for resources -- surely there are sources far closer. So what does that leave?
My gut feeling life ever were in are galaxy and beyond not sure what kind or how close waiting for the James Webb to give us more information very soon
So, could there be dinosaur skeletons floating around our solar system? I mean he did say it's somewhat possible to survive a very large impact and it would just flip the surface and I imagine any life straight up like a seesaw.
HTG, every time I hear the words "Fermi Paradox" the words "Dunning-Kruger" pop into my head. Humans wondering why "intelligent life, if there is any out there, hasn't tried to contact us already" is like earthworms wondering why humans don't get down on the ground and try to communicate with them. Why would you? Same goes for any actually intelligent civilizations in the galaxy. To them, we are neither intelligent nor civilized, and the fact that we think we are is just proof of that.
But there are 2 peaks of "mis-comprehension" in Dunning-Kruger. If we are on the incompetent end, over-estimating our abilities and "conversation skills", are the more advanced aliens also over-estimating our abilities? Like '60s era dolphin researchers trying to teach a bottlenose to enunciate modern American English. Or linguists trying to get grammar out of parrots because they CAN enunciate modern American English?
Itd be crazy if there are many civilizations in our galaxy that are in contact with each other and are aware of us and other similar more primitive civilizations but have a non interference rule until a civilization reaches a certain level of advancement.
Nope. There is no civilization-test, no pop-quiz, no non interference rule (you realize you've drawn all this from Star Trek, right?). Reality is not a television show.
It would be super cool to find an alien version of TH-cam with million year old videos of them visiting Earth and taking pictures of woolly mammoths and such.
Is the solution to the Fermi Paradox that our Galaxy is already settled by older alien civilizations?
Let John know what you think below.
The solution to the Fermi Paradox is most likely that we do not have the technological capabilities to scan our galaxy to detect life or technological signatures. To further complicate things if some civilisations are hostile then they are going to want to hide themselves from “others” who are not their friends. Their technologies could be so advanced that they can somehow sit outside the electromagnetic spectrum or alter it in such a way that when we view star systems with our instruments we see nothing at all.
Marijn fly well I’m sorry for starters it was well before 75 years that nuclear threats were made. Second if they weren’t launched in the Cuban missile crisis or by a “crazy North Korean leader(s)” it is very unlikely they will be launched tomorrow. And finally not all civilisations would end up destroying themselves when they’ve reached technological superiority.
Even if life is rare, I rather Think its arrogant to presume we are unique. Whilst the sentiment is very human, statistically, with the size of the Universe, it just seems highly unlikely.
If the Universe has very little intelligent and evolved life, then we might never have “first contact”.
If the Universe is teeming with lntelligent life, we might very Well be a backwater planet, in a backwater Galaxy, in. A backwater part of the Universe, and just be incredibly primitive, not worthy of any contact or attention, before we discover tech thats far beyond even our most ridiculous science fiction. Most of our tech and science has been formed in the last 500 years. Compared to the universal timeframes thats just an incredibly miniscule time.
We are the first. Maybe.. idk😂
The Aliens have analyzed our civilizations, figured out we are boring and annoying and are avoiding us.....

The Rainbow Bridge
inspired by a Norse legend
"By the edge of a woods, at the foot of a hill,
Is a lush, green meadow where time stands still.
Where the friends of man and woman do run,
When their time on earth is over and done.
For here, between this world and the next,
Is a place where each beloved creature finds rest.
On this golden land, they wait and they play,
Till the Rainbow Bridge they cross over one day.
No more do they suffer, in pain or in sadness,
For here they are whole, their lives filled with gladness.
Their limbs are restored, their health renewed,
Their bodies have healed, with strength imbued.
They romp through the grass, without even a care,
Until one day they start, and sniff at the air.
All ears prick forward, eyes dart front and back,
Then all of a sudden, one breaks from the pack.
For just at that instant, their eyes have met;
Together again, both person and pet.
So they run to each other, these friends from long past,
The time of their parting is over at last.
The sadness they felt while they were apart,
Has turned into joy once more in each heart.
They embrace with a love that will last forever,
And then, side-by-side, they cross over… together."

A bit closer to home is the thought that there are actually people out there who think about these things rather than war or the expansion of territory.
Thank you. That is one of the main goals of the show.
Good conversation! Thanks.
You help me relax and sleep.
As far as Solar Sails go, I have a somewhat simple/strange question. If we send these little probes out with big light sails, we expect that the pressure of the solar radiation will push them away. But when they approach a star, won't the solar radiation from that star also push the sail away from it? Obviously I'm aware that there are ways to ensure one side of the sail is more "absorbent" (as far as transferring the radiation into kinetic energy) while the other can reflect the radiation away. I'm just thinking that, since the probes are so small, the radiation of the "destination" star would be enough to shove the sail away way. That would especially be the case if the probe is approaching a star with a higher output than the star which propelled the sail initially. Maybe I'm just an idiot...
You can really hear how much JMG personally enjoyed this one
I start your video so I can go to sleep and this is your sponsor!?
Love your podcasts, but try to be considerate at the end of your show. I sometimes find myself waking up at the end due to loud sounds
Not necessarily. However. What's the odds that life originated after the late heavy bombardment. What if what helped caused the late heavy bombardment was a star that wandered near our solar system and that star had a planet that had life. It might have helped to seed life on earth.
21:20 i'm sorry to jump in with a snyde comment but, ANY "solution" to the fermi paradox that involves a pre-condition on "everybody" in the universe adhering to a certain doctrine or belief structure, simply can not be true.
If a singular civilization can, however unlikely, have a differing opinion, the entire theory falls apart.
So in this example, the idea that "Maybe everybody is afraid of contamination, so they all isolate their planets", simply can not be true, because if a single civilization does NOT behave like this, "everybody" is now shattered, and any such theory needs "everybody" to withhold the test of time.
It's like treating human beings the same way.
If you say "maybe everybody is afraid of germs, so they isolate themselves and never meet in large groups", this simply cannot be true, because you'll always have at least a handful of people who DONT share that belief, fear, or doctrine.
Frankly, it's better to simply throw out any and all (probably 95% of the "solutions" to the fermi paradox) ideas that rely on the precondition of "everybody" in the universe behaving in the same way.
Sure, something COULD be true locally, and "locally" might be an entire galaxy in this case.
If we speak in sci-fi terms, like in the games Mass Effect, perhaps there is a looming enormous danger of self-replicating AI machines drifting in the void, waiting to pick up signals from civilizations, until they cleanse that world, and repeat the cycle for eons.
So perhaps the only surviving civilizations here have learnt, and agreed, to limit their emissions.
But even so, this is NOT a solution to the fermi paradox, because not "everybody" adheres to this.
Any visitor from outside our galaxy, would not know, and would come in "ghettoblaster screaming".
And we ourselves, are proof that this solution isnt true.
WE aren't quiet, WE are blasting out our radio signals into the void without worry.
Thus, even if there WAS a "local" agreement to keep quiet, still not everybody is in on it, we're not in on it.
So then some other nearby civilization WOULD inevitable detect our signals, or we'd detect them, the few young ones foolish enough to keep transmitting, before the machines have reached their worlds to snuff them out.
So even then there would still be signals travelling through space. Even within a self-imposed quarantine zone.
It was only a little over 100 years ago that the wright brothers took the first airplane flight. We are still crawling out of the cradle when we look at the universal time scale.
One thing I have always been amazed by is how you get to that?
Coffee is the one that baffles me the most. You need to roast and grind the beans and then add boiling water, how do you get there? :O
I'd love to see the videos of Earth's dinosaurs that were taken by an older more advanced civilization.
so would we.
Really great thought provoking episode. So many great ideas and things to ponder.
It's not likely, because if extraterrestrial civilizations were all over the Milky Way, we probably would have seen, heard, etc signs of them
You have your just blind to it ...
You wouldn't know what your looking at ...
What is the first thing that I would say to aliens that greet me ?

"Take me with you !!"
Show me your craziest invention!

Lol, one of my favorite things you’ve ever said
Anyone else ever not get to the end of these videos ? I put them on to sleep and never hear the end 😭
John Michael Goaty-Ay!!!!!!!!!!! 🎉🎉🎉🎉
I totally put this on as I am going to sleep LOL
I need a good night's sleep right now. Thanks John!
Marshall sounds like Ted Danson LOL! Fantastic episode, I love when scientists are willing to cast their intellect into the deep unknown.
Great interview thanks!
EXCELLENT! if NOT OUTSTANDING . MANY THANKS ! HOST JOHN MICHAEL GODIER. GUEST w/ MARSHALL EUBANKS. FROM, U.K. (2023).
Can't we best find early meteorites on Mercury? I like the "shotgun panspermia" idea. Though I wonder about the ethics.
The galaxy appears to be primordial in the sense that we see no evidence of the great engineering projects in space that we can envision.
I almost start a playlist from your other channel. When I fall asleep.
What was the name of that story about the Earth receiving a signal from space that said, "Shhhh, they'll hear you!"?
You got a amazing voice jonh and awesome content keep up the great work !
I like the idea of sending balloon(s) to Venus. Sounds practical, cheap and can produce a lot of information.
When you guys were talking about eating poisonous berries and thinking the motivation is desperation I’m reminded of circumcisions. Jews eventually figured out if you circumcise on a certain day after birth there is less blood loss and thus safer. But there was no desperation driving this practice when it comes to survival, they were willing to do something dangerous on a large scale because they wanted to.
The guest has to change the battery in his smoke alarm! I heard it last interview too
I love the idea of an observation post waiting in our system for us to pass some boundary in technological development. The question would be then if passing that benchmark would be an invitation to join the party or setting off an alarm to destroy us or conquer us?
You realize that you are just transposing god and aliens.
@@williamblack4006 Thats not at all what I was saying. Did you go searching for comments to fit that dumb narrative? I've heard this crap before from Christians trying to accuse athiests of having a replacement for god, you could not be more incorrect. And I'm not gonna argue with you, because you're already dead set on that moronic opinion.
@@dylanfoster7037 I'm an atheist myself.
What could possibly motivate a civilization to cross light years, then set up an advance base ostensibly with the purpose to either destroy us or conquer us -- the supposition makes no rational sense.
It couldn't be for territory -- the galaxy is a hundred thousand light years across. It couldn't be for resources -- surely there are sources far closer.
So what does that leave?
My gut feeling life ever were in are galaxy and beyond not sure what kind or how close waiting for the James Webb to give us more information very soon
Thanks John
So, could there be dinosaur skeletons floating around our solar system? I mean he did say it's somewhat possible to survive a very large impact and it would just flip the surface and
I imagine any life straight up like a seesaw.
HTG, every time I hear the words "Fermi Paradox" the words "Dunning-Kruger" pop into my head. Humans wondering why "intelligent life, if there is any out there, hasn't tried to contact us already" is like earthworms wondering why humans don't get down on the ground and try to communicate with them. Why would you? Same goes for any actually intelligent civilizations in the galaxy. To them, we are neither intelligent nor civilized, and the fact that we think we are is just proof of that.
But there are 2 peaks of "mis-comprehension" in Dunning-Kruger. If we are on the incompetent end, over-estimating our abilities and "conversation skills", are the more advanced aliens also over-estimating our abilities? Like '60s era dolphin researchers trying to teach a bottlenose to enunciate modern American English. Or linguists trying to get grammar out of parrots because they CAN enunciate modern American English?
@Kim Beall It is highly doubtful that aliens would hate humans as much as you do.
Great topic!
Love your voice John... It belongs on a podcast. If you're going to do the youtubes, get some visual stuff going. Some of us are kinesthetic...
Itd be crazy if there are many civilizations in our galaxy that are in contact with each other and are aware of us and other similar more primitive civilizations but have a non interference rule until a civilization reaches a certain level of advancement.
Nope. There is no civilization-test, no pop-quiz, no non interference rule (you realize you've drawn all this from Star Trek, right?). Reality is not a television show.
@@williamblack4006 I didnt claim that as being true i said "if". You are making a claim as fact with absolutely nothing to back it up.
Your too interesting to fall asleep too. So mind expanding. Amazing. Thank you
It would be super cool to find an alien version of TH-cam with million year old videos of them visiting Earth and taking pictures of woolly mammoths and such.
They’d have wasted all that dilithium; the woolly mammoths hadn’t evolved that early. Steppe mammoths would have to do.
Wow I'm not the only one who loves sleeping to this??? I thought I was weird :D
