If we know the location of a higher probability (solely because they are in the Goldilocks Zone) can we point any technology at it say SETI and focus a search?
What about lasers or say this quantum radar type thing I read about on another thread, can these things search that far in the vacuum of space or would it require too much power. (Not sure what a laser would do except annoy some ET commercial pilot on approach to Los Eisley).
Can we beam and type of noise, just incase they happen to have a SETI. I know I am now in the realms of absolute implausibility but I do hope we make contact in my lifetime.
Imagine communication, 2 way, with another planet, it may refocus the whole world world from religious hatred to a new era of mass cooperation and a unified goal creating more technology faster than a war or the arms race.

We need to remember that life can come to be in any environment, even in the most extreme conditions. Life could take on many unique and even grotesque forms..

To me, the most 'alien' like critter on earth is the lightning bug.
My son loves those things!

Personally, I don't trust NASA . They find stuff light years away that nobody can see but them, but ask them for extreme close ups of the moon or put a spy satellite quality camera that can take pictures of your car from space on something going to mars and send back something beside blurry photos and it doesn't happen.
