2446.  Interplanetary visitation

14 Replies

Now that interplanetary visitation is commonplace there are some people who won’t accept reality. Gone are the days when we didn’t know whether or not life existed on other planets – let alone intelligent life.

What gets me down are the tourists. There are hundreds of known planets seething with life, but these aliens from just the one planet seem to wander aimlessly around the cosmos like maggots on a hunk of dead rotten meat. And they take photographs of everything. You would think by now they would have upgraded their technology.

My home has a spectacular view of a waterfall. It’s why I paid such an extravagant price for the house; it was the view. Now it seems like you can’t see the waterfall for the tourists. Also, I estimate there must be three or four knocks on my door every day. It is tourists asking if I am willing to sell.  These tourists from just the one planet seem motivated by greed. They are buying up a good portion of the real estate around here and they’re only living in it for about a month of the year.

Other planets are finding the same problems. There’s a move afoot to get the Interplanetary Confederation to ban tourists from Earth altogether.

    Sums up earthlings. Reminds me of the trip to the mountains I took recently. I, the alien, wandering aimlessly taking in the sights and sounds when I heard a cacophony. Turns out it was the crude plebs from earth, the males trying to get the attention of the females.

      Even in zoos – that is zoos on other planets – the human males and females have to be put in separate enclosures to prevent unseemly behaviour (such as the males stealing the females’ food).
