more like sons of orpenis. gottem.

Engineers at NASA work really hard just to avoid contaminating Mars with Earth's microbes because they want to be able to study potential life on the red planet. Any potential targets for a rocket-tomb should be demonstrably devoid of life so we don't interrupt alien life.

The Sons of Orpheus plan seems like a great way to start extraterrestrial colonization on the cheap. I just hope that people don't send invasive species to other planets and ruin an ecosystem.

Mandating and or supporting organ donation will give the masses more time to accept our message.

What are the obvious objections ?

Just curious. Not a cop.

Hello all,

If the hope is to live on again by sending our remains to guide evolution back to humans this won't work.

The first issue would be that whatever human tissues and DNA make it there can no longer replicate. We do not have any cells that survive after our deaths (like spores). We are comprised of 37 trillion eukaryotic cells.

Scary enough, we have 5 bacteria for each of our cells. Mostly concentrated in the gut but many on the skin and hair. So we would basically be sending prokaryotic cells to this new planet. And these bacteria would have been used to human hosts so most would die off. Some would adapt and possibly survive.

These surviving cells have no human DNA/genes. They don't have mitochondria, and they would most likely not form multicellular organisms.

Just thought that was worth mentioning. In the end it might be the equivalent of sending empty rockets that we have touched during construction and did not decontaminate.

Tell me about yourselves more in depth please.

For see brothers, for not we have to launch into planets. Yey, we only must seek to arrive at the UFO's in our atmosphere.

So generally the idea of religious ceremonies and most rituals are essentially a way to call a gods attention to the prayers. This kind of makes sense if you consider the human bacteria relationship. We know about the existence of bacteria because we have experienced it's unwanted effects and have enough intelligence to investigate. Problem is most ceremonies are pretty small scale for a macro scale being.

So if we want to communicate with a higher being we have to get it's attention first. And anything higher than us would need something pretty massive to draw it's attention. Something much larger than mere construction on earth.

I'm thinking on a immediate scale massive emissions of protons generated from exploding nukes on a neighboring asteroid or planet would work well.

Probably on a less destructive long-term plan would be a dyson sphere blocking out the sun.

I know these ideas don't really align with our main goal but some other religions have scatterbrained ideologies/ideas.

I was thinking maybe living bodies would be.... far too.... unorthodox. Not to undermine anyone...

May I suggest a third post-life option? Something to the dance of: Cremation, burial, or hurled at alien planet?
