Rare Earth hypothesis

As of the 21st century, it is no longer controversial to believe in the existence of extraterrestrial life. While in the 16th century, a belief that life existed beyond Earth and its atmosphere may have led to a public execution (like it did for astronomer, Giordano Bruno), the same belief is held by 54% of Americans today. Given the evidence gathered through advanced space exploration and technology, the scientific community, as well as the general population, is more inclined to believe in extraterrestrial life. However, something that is more debatable, is the existence of intelligent extraterrestrial life. While there has been evidence that may imply small, microorganisms present on distant planets, there has been little evidence that…

As it turned out, the signal was nothing more…

Colonies on Other Planets Isaiah Dokus 1/12/2017 The Earth is deteriorating, and growing faster by the day. We are using up our natural resources faster than I can type this sentence. Eventually, we may need to move. Not to another oil drilling site, but to a completely different planet. Our knowledge of space travel and other technologies is quickly progressing.

Rare earths are very significant when it comes to the development and use of technical equipment as they can be very important to the performance of the unit.

Today there are many patients who utilize Patient-Assistance Programs as a resource for for…
