  1. Are they talking about extra-terrestrial aliens from beyond the atmosphere?
    Or extra-national aliens (i.e., illegal aliens) from beyond the southern border?

  2. I’ve never given Elon much time before this interview. He’s engaging because you get wrapped up in his thought process from constant stumbling and pauses waiting for what he’s going to say next as if it’s going to be something genius because he takes so much time. If you remove all those pauses and pay attention only to the words he eventually speaks, he really doesn’t say much above sophomore high school grade level. Just sayin. I’m sure he’s a super genius because that’s what everyone says, and certainly rich as fuck, but I just don’t get it, probably because what he actually says (or actually doesn’t say) is far more intelligent than I can understand. I do appreciate his good sense of humor.

  3. I watched an old B&W sci fi movie called The Day Mars Invaded The Earth from the early 60’s that I first saw when I was a kid about 9 or 10 years old at the Lee Theater in downtown Ephrata, Wash. on a Saturday afternoon for a quarter. This movie had always haunted me about Martians disguising themselves as humans as a way to take over the Earth and prevent the Earth from invading Mars with their initial space probe which they disintegrated and burned at the beginning of the movie. Sure, it was a crummy, scary B sci fi movie but I had a very active imagination as a kid and even though I hadn’t seen it in about 60 years I remembered it as soon as I started watching it. It’s funny how I remember things like that. It had that classic original Invasion Of The Body Snatchers vibe about it.

  4. If there are humanoid creatures flying around in saucers or whatever, I think they are angels, depicted in old paintings as humans with wings. Even the Ancient Romans had sculptures of humans with wings. For them, the only way to conceptualize human-like beings able to fly was to show them with wings.

    Where did such a concept come from? My guess is that older civilizations were aware of angels but were not able to entertain the idea of flying machines (UFOs) that could fly through space. Therefore, they must have had wings.

    The original Invasion of The Body Snatchers (1956) was very good Sc-fi.

    Some movie reviewers said the movie was leveraging people’s fear of communists secretly infiltrating and taking over America. That may be a lot of hooey from self-important intellects.

    I was enamored with the female lead, Betty Driscoll, played by Dana Wynter, a great beauty. When Dr. Bennel (Kevin McCarthy) takes her home after a date, there is a bit of sly humor. He tells her, as a doctor, he has a great bedside manner, and she replies, something to the effect that that would be disastrous…(maybe on a first date).

    I no longer watch Sci-fi because the new stuff always seems to be huge metallic monsters from outer space creating havoc and death in some big city
