S.1. Ep. 14 "Third from the Sun"

Fritz Weaver, Pittsburgh native, plays Will Sturka. He works at a military base as a scientist, developing Hydrogen bombs for the nuclear war that will occur in 48 hours. His friend Jerry Riden, played by Joe Maross, also works at the military base. Will and Jerry have devised a plan to steal a military space ship to evacuate their planet before the nuclear holocaust begins. Will invites Jerry and his wife over to play cards, a ploy to prepare them for departure. During their card game, Mr. Carling, one of their bosses, arrives at the Sturka home. Carling is played by Edward Andrews. He maliciously hints that he knows the plan Will and Jerry have spent months plotting. After Carling leaves, Will tells the families they have to leave immediately.


When the two families arrive at the base, the signal is given. Will and Jerry believe everything is ready until the signalling light begins to approach them. It's Carling with a gun. Will and Jerry jump Carling and head towards the space craft. The alarm sounds and the whole two guards attack them as they board. They made it.

Will and Jerry are hopeful for their future. The talk about the planet they are headed towards. They're flying to the third planet from the sun, Earth.

Intelligent life? In outer space? Like.. humans? NO WAY MAN! 


March 5, CNET writer, Chris Matyszczyk published an article based on NASA scientist Dr. Richard B. Hoover's recent findings of bacterial life in CI1 carbonaceous chondrites, meteorites in which only nine exist on Earth. Hoover believes these meteorites arrived on Earth from outer space. The bacteria, Hoover believes, is a fossil of alien life. NASA warns media  sites and news conglomerates that Hoover's theories are not always correct. Yet, Hoover isn't alone on the theory of intelligent life existing in outer space.

Last year, Stephen Hawking warned our civilization to fear aliens. According to Hawking, we shouldn't even be attempting to contact them nor go searching beyond our solar system. I can't agree more. Aliens are going to come to our planet and hateeeeee us.

Hopefully, it's like the movie Signs and we can just throw water on them. Splash, splash. Take that! Yeaa, that's right the Earth is 70% water, fools!




The Space Review's Stephen Ashworth wrote an interesting article titled, "What future for intelligent life in space?" When you say it aloud, it sounds kinda douche-bag-ish. Basically, Ashworth's thesis is that we could sustain human life in space if we started building space stations. Not like the International Space Station that only houses about ten people. We need a space station like Star Wars, Star Trek, Battlestar Galatica or Zeon, Girl of the 21st Century.
