Stellar Cruise Part 5
When things finally come to a head, will the passengers and crew be ready... The Zala’s senior staff met every ship’s morning in the main conference room behind the bridge. The room was dominated by an oblong table that kind of resembled a fat plantain. The senior most of the staff sat around it while their aids and junior lieutenants stood behind them. Screens displayed ships status and viewports on either side showed the void of space in its ebony glory.

Have Alien Microbes Been Found Hitching a Ride on the International Space Station?
When searching for extraterrestrial life, the focus tends to be, naturally, on worlds far away, such as Mars, Europa or distant exoplanets. But could there be evidence closer to home, even near Earth itself? It's a seemingly unlikely but not unheard of possibility. That said, there is an interesting new report from the Russian news agency TASS that living "alien" bacteria have been found on the outside of the International Space Station (ISS). Say what?

Humanoid Extra Terrestrials Live Among Us (HETLAU)
Life has always been present on other Planets. The reason Earthlings are having such a difficult time realizing this is the way they originated and the events that followed were scripted or designed to prevent them from realizing this.

Breaking News—Evidence of Alien Life Has Been Found!
Have our hopes and dreams finally become a reality? Have we finally discovered that alien life really does exist? The answer: no, we haven't... Not yet at least. We have yet to hear a truthful and scientifically proven answer to that age-old fundamental question.

The World as We Know It (Pt. 1)
The world as we know it can be a fascinating place. A place where we can adventure into the unknown, and obviously that's where this is heading. Perhaps a space adventure that we take too far or a cross with a teen life story, who even knows?

Invasion Earth
Alien invasions of Earth have been a staple of science fiction storytelling since H.G. Wells. From then to today we have had stories of humanity versus an alien threat retold to us in many different ways. Many of us have almost always enjoyed these forays into human nature, but sometimes there is just something missing. There are occasions when the writers display a lack of thought into the science behind alien motivations in favour of a romp through science-fiction tropes, but to some of us—myself included—the science behind the whys and wherefores are just as important as the narrative on the whole.One of the most common reasons we see in fiction for aliens invading the Earth is territory; the act of taking our home world for themselves, wiping out us pesky natives in the process. On the surface, this seems to be a logical reason for the launching of an invasion and a believable one. Let's put aside the idea of using science-fiction as an analogue to explore real issues for a moment, and we can see this concept start to unravel. How? It comes down simply to the level of technology these aliens can employ. They're putting together an invasion force, and constructing the machines and/or equipment needed to do so. They also must have ships that are capable of transporting an entire population insanely long distances. Clearly, if they can put the resources into something like this and have the tech available to sustain themselves on such a journey, why would they not look at the prospect of space habitats? Is there a particular reason that they're unable to colonise a slightly less suitable world such as we are planning to do onMars.It would be far less effort for them to construct their own colonies in space or on worlds where the natives won't be a problem.

Why We Might Be Alone in the Universe
Are we the only living things in the universe? That is a scary question to think about. Our observable universe stretches out 90,000,000,000 light years in diameter containing 100,000,000,000 galaxies each with 100,000,000,000 stars. Recently we just found out that planets are very common too. So, there should be lots of opportunity for life to develop and exist, but where is it? Shouldn't the universe be teeming with spaceships? Even if there are any alien civilizations in other galaxies, there is no way we'll ever know about them. Anything that is outside of our galactic "Local Group" is pretty much out of our reach forever, because of how fast our universe is expanding. Even if we had science fiction technology that could make our spaceships travel at the speed of light, it would literally take billions of years to reach these places. Traveling through the emptiest places in the universe.

Conversations with an Alien
I came across a video I found on Youtube that caught my attention right away. I am a firm believer that there is another world outside of our world and possibly many more. Does this mean my faith is questioned? No, I still do believe in God very much, but I think that there is life among ours as well.
