  Babel is fugitive. We can reach the heavens if we work together.

  Are you talking about the christian heaven or actual space?

  The answer for coth is no.

  More importantly is thinking aliens are like humans really an issue?

  Of you are talking about fiction? No.

  If you are talking about reality? Yes.

  Humans are a fluke of random evolution on one planet, that is all.

    Why no for actual space? We actually are going, like right now.

    So humans are fluke and aliens not fluke? If the great filter happened for us then maybe it filters out beings that are not like us. I mean unless you know an alien Any argument anyone can make is just limited by imagination.

      The answer for both, via a space elevator, is no.

      We have not left earth's orbit in 50 years.

      Voyager, the probes that have been travelling for 50 years are still less than 0.001% (1/10,000th) the distance to the nearest star.

      So humans are fluke and aliens not fluke?

      Both are/will be but the chance or evolution taking the same path on two different biospheres is pretty much zero.

        Yeah but that’s not because we can’t. Maybe “it’s aliens”

        Well I can’t say you are right or wrong. No one can. Anything I say is purely hypothetical but winning the lotto is pretty much zero and people win.
