say its just a planet full of animals....we go there and start slaughtering everything because we want to terraform and develop.

say its a planet with intelligent life? too many scenarios on how that might play out, but I don't have any faith in the human race to be diplomatic.

thought i had the other day on this topic. Earth is 4 or 5 billion years old. Say this new planet is 6 or 7 billion years old. that's almost 2 billion year evolutionary head start. look at how far humans have come from 10,000 BC to 2016. still so much we can't do as a species like faster than light travel. but in a billion years time we might have mastered teleportation.

we run up on a species that already has a billion years on us in existence, all of a sudden we are the ants on an ant hill about to get squashed.
