Why Would Aliens Even Bother With Earth? - LitHub

Science fiction is fun and often has pretentions of being based in reality because the authors tend to be scientists, science fandom, or (ugh) positivists. But do long-standing tropes associated with alien invasion have a leg, or tentacle, to stand on? Because Lewis Dartnell would like a few words with you. Another question to be asked, "Why would humans even bother with Venus" considering it's just as hostile to us as Earth would be to putative invading aliens. Logic isn't stopping Rocket Lab Self-Funding A Mission To Search For Alien Life In The Clouds Of Venus and Chris Young outlines the beginnings of such a maverick mission. If we do find life and reckon we can communicate with them, could we truly understand one another? Just consider Earthly critters, like Rich Reynolds who just read Ed Yong's An Immense World leading Rich to muse upon the Sensory Worlds Of Animals That Can Be Applied To ET. If earthly animals can perceive the world radically different than H. sapiens, goodness only knows how bizarre our cosmic visitors or invaders may be. (CS)
