Don't forget Mr Spock survived the Dikironium Cloud, "Vampire Cloud" because he's blood is based on Copper unlike the human Iron.

re: Stephen Hawking warns "we should avoid aliens"
I've always found Erich von Daniken's books interesting in trying to find our religious link with that of our alien past. Much of it's bunkum but some of it is quite thought provoking.
I first read "Chariots of the Gods" when I was 13 in 1972. When I moved house 5 years ago I refound the original paperbook I bought in a shop (called OBM, I think) in Hobart, Tasmania. His theories haven't moved on much since then, but neither has relgion.

Re: Stephen Hawking warns "we should avoid aliens"
I still think that us humans were stowaways on a visiting alien spaceship, a sort of ship's rat!

I wonder how that theory would match up with the fact that some monkeys have 93.5% matching DNA?

Re: Stephen Hawking warns "we should avoid aliens"
Looks like I was right after all. And we only needed to go as far as California to find it.

The first organism able to substitute one of the six chemical elements crucial to life has been found.
The bacterium, found in a California lake, uses the usually poisonous element arsenic in place of phosphorus.
The find, described in Science, gives weight to the long-standing idea that life on other planets may have a radically different chemical makeup.

Long-standing? Yeah, by me. No other sod believed it.
So when do I get my Nobel prize?

Re: Stephen Hawking warns "we should avoid aliens"
Punky, what you mentioned about other lifeforms not needing oxygen seems to already exist so totally supports your theory.
Under the sea many miles down they have found deep volcanoes releasing sulpher and gasses and they found life down there where there is not even any light.

Anaerobic lifeforms - they were here long before us....
