Title: First Contact
Post by: Husker on September 12, 2013, 09:31:44 pm
If the Vulcans or any other species were to land on earth today, how long do you think it would take for them to think humankind is nuts and leave? :p

They wouldn't even need to approach the planet.  They'd pick up our radio waves and quarantine the whole system.

Incidentally, Voyager 1 is simply being towed back.

If our section of the universe is anything to go by, life could be very scarce. They might never have seen life off their planet before. I reckon they'd be sticking around.

It would probably go like this:

I'd like to remind everyone, for a moment, to remember that canonically the Vulcans arrived to a scorched, desolate, nearly uncivilized planet barely surviving the aftermath of a devastating war, and landed after detecting the first human warp signature to drunken revelry and music.

Canon didn't set the bar very high here.

Well, actually it did
It set the bar to us having to discover/invent a way of going through sub/hyperspace in order for anyone to pay as any attention

they would just nuke the whole site from orbit, it would be the only way to be sure.

Depends on the spacecraft's Mass Ratio, and the exhaust velocity of the engine.

Oh my gosh this is a great question. I would definitely want to issue a report sometime soonish. Say, 24, 25 years? If I was an ET. :p xD

Y'know, I think they would try to observe the most powerful governments on earth, and then turn around and nuke them. It's the only way to be sure.

Given the Vulcans' own history they'd be throwing stones from a glass house.
