presuming that this was sarcasm, why do you presume that them having greater technology means that they couldn't or wouldn't still be prone to
crashes?
it really annoys me when people make no distinction between capable of building a better spaceship than us and being a practically perfect race which
would not make errors or have problems.
there are any number of possible reasons why a more technically advanced craft could still crash. error of judgement (these things are not gods),
computer failure, an attack from something else above earth which damaged the craft, christ maybe the pilot had a heart attack. maybe it was a
depressed alien couple with 2 weeks to live so they decided to go out romantically with a bang by commiting suicide together by flying to a far away
world.
and yes i'm well aware that most of those ideas are hard to take seriously, which is why i'm not suggesting that any one of them is true. what i am
saying is that more naive than believing that aliens did crash is that aliens COULDN'T crash.
by the same logic people shouldn't be dieing when we have enough food to go around the whole world and yet because of our global politics and our
lack of individual help for those who are it happens anyway. and how can we possibly presume that because they can build a better space ship that they
are any more socially and biologically developed than ourselves? the truth is we can't and it's exceptionally silly to make any assumptions about
something which we know nothing about.
sorry for ranting but it really gets me when people make massive assumptions and even worse when they are sarcastic as they do it
@whoever suggested that's why usos fly into water, very nice idea!
