Long and hard the Centaurian scientists worked to discover and evaluate data on the new planet and the incredible beings that lived there. They found a planet with many pleasant places where there were cool plants and cool animals. And they even found quite a bit of mud at river deltas and other places. But they just couldn’t understand the dominant species on the planet. The dominant species kept doing uncool things like pouring carbon dioxide into the planet’s atmosphere. Now carbon dioxide warmed the planet up so those cool green places and the mud could become sad, lifeless deserts.

They found a planet with many pleasant places where there were cool plants and cool animals. And they even found quite a bit of mud at river deltas and other places. But they just couldn’t understand the dominant species on the planet. The dominant species kept doing uncool things like pouring carbon dioxide into the planet’s atmosphere. Now carbon dioxide warmed the planet up so those cool green places and the mud could become sad, lifeless deserts. And the dominant species kept pouring pollutants into streams, rivers, lakes and oceans so those streams, rivers, lakes and oceans and muddy places became bad places and gave off horrible smells and life there died. And the Terrans did silly things like draining swamps and muddy places. That was totally incomprehensible. The inhabitants of Porrila just had no idea why any intelligent being refused to enjoy the wonderful mud on it’s planet. And the Centaurians had such compassion for the unfortunate planet Earth and its people. The Centaurians decided to contact the Terrans. Perhaps they hoped they could persuade the Terrans to be more reasonable. Now Proxima Centauri is just over 4 light years away from Earth. That means that waiting for replies took over eight years. After many decades the Terrans and the Centaurians developed a communications method that worked most of the time. Then the Centaurians and the Terrans wanted to meet face to face face to tentacles. How could they get together? It’s just no good saying, “You just catch the 28 bus away from the City Centre and get off at the crossroads after the railway bridge” when your cool friend is that bit over 4 light years away.
