Kaor, Paul!

I remember not being satisfied with Chapter VII, the idea that only primitive forms of life were found on all other discovered planets. SOME, yes, but ALL of them? I boggled at that!

Ad astra! Sean

Anderson doesn't have to believe the 'Rare Earth' hypothesis to use it in one of many futures he writes.

Kaor, Jim!

Of course I agree! But I would also add that complex lifeforms don't have to arise only on terrestroid planets. I believe it's at least as equally likely to happen on non-terrestroid planets. Such as Suleiman in Anderson's story "Esau."

Ad astra! Sean
