Re: Venus Express spacecraft ready for launch

Jonathan Silverlight,
Without any regard to whatever observationology (because with you
seeing whatever is not believing anyway);
Why pick Venus when Mars is simply so much further away, mostly
sub-frozen, hardly any atmosphere, thus easily pulverised and quite
nicely TBI to death?

This time I'm thinking just a little further outside of my usual box;

What say that it's been an ET game of HIDE and SEEK (of planetary
pillaging and plundering right under our brown noses).

This may be somewhat like "crop-circles" on steroids, with the
exception that I believe ETs are playing for real finders keepers.
However, since we're snookered and thus so dumb and dumber that we
can't even find Osama bin Laden, nor do we realize what an absolute
LLPOF SOB of a resident warlord(GW Bush) we have running us amuck,
thereby what chance in hell (perhaps literally) would we have of
uncovering even that of a somewhat massive ET operations as having
transpired upon Venus?

If you were an ET as having been sent on a expedition to a nearby solar
system, as in somewhat out and about looking for a viable planet to
pillage and plunder, such as looking for a viable orb as having rare
minerals and possibly the likes of diamonds, especially if interested
in obtaining atomic elements (thus you certainly wouldn't want an
extremely old Mars like planet that's already past its atomic half-life
and having a nearly dead core to boot), however if there was another
somewhat geologically newish planet as per having an ample supply of
ready-made green/renewable energy at your disposal might represent just
the ticket, especially if having so much spare energy that you didn't
have to deplete whatever your spaceship and/or spaceplane had of
essential get-home energy (possibly He3/Deuterium fusion), that or
perhaps just having a good inventory of Radium(Ra226)-->Radon(Rn222)
being of a fairly powerful ion thruster fuel, the same energy that got
yourself and whatever motley crew into our solar system in the first
place. What if those choices of pillagable planets became the threesome
of Venus, Earth and Mars. If you had to pick; Which one would you most
go for?

Remember that you're already a good million or so years more advanced
than us humans, thus seasoned space-traveling ETs, whereas if need be
you could possibly make due on Titan, and since you're certainly not
the least bit heathen nor nearly as snookered and thus least
dumbfounded, whereas chances are that you and your crew actually know a
little something extra about applied physics, and you'd think the
realistic limitations as to exactly how much cold or otherwise hot and
downright nastiness you can manage to survive upon without your having
to drag every last stitch of the entire expedition requirements along
for the ride. In other words, it would be darn nice to getting situated
upon a planet where the likes of having surplus green/renewable energy
is essentially everywhere you'd care to settel in for the next 100,000
years.

Remember that you'd want the least possible resistance from whatever
locals.
Remember that getting yourself to/from whatever orbit needs to be
energy manageable.
Remember that getting summarily pulverised out of nowhere isn't exactly
part of your plan-A.
Remember about background and influx of lethal radiation that'll need
to remain as minimized.
Remember that you would not want yourself or your montely crew getting
infected with lethal microbes.
Remember that even being space-traveling ETs, that you still have
biological and certain other limitations.
Remember that you'd like privacy, keeping as much as possible out of
sight and thus out of neighboring minds.

Especially important, as much as possible keeping your expedition of
whatever operations out of sight and thus out of the nearby heathen
minds of such absolute bigoted and arrogant fools that'll invent WMD
just for justifying yet another perpetrated blood-sport of a war and,
as otherwise for their pretentious ruse of global energy domination, by
way of taking the energy resources of whatever belongs to others or, at
least keeping such potentially affordable energy out of the hands of
any competitive groups that might actually accomplish a few too many
good things at less than 10% the cost.

Therefore, in ET/ETI terms of which planet to plunder and pillage; is
it going to be Mars, Earth or Venus?

Kurt Vonnegut would have to agree; WAR is WAR, thus "in war there are
no rules" - In fact, war has been the very reason of having to deal
with the likes of others that haven't been playing by whatever rules,
such as GW Bush.
