Yes, one has to wonder why flying saucers, quite a blatantly unusual-looking aircraft to be “secretly” investigating another planet with, would be an advanced alien race’s go-to vehicles. Truly, they probably wouldn’t be very efficient! The U.S. government once tried to develop a real-life saucer-shaped aircraft (the Avrocar), but it didn’t perform very well and the project was cancelled. So I guess it’s no wonder the aliens’ flying saucers always crash-land in those stories! :p That being said, I have a couple model flying saucers sitting on the desk in front of me as I type this, anyway. :DD

Welp, that fiction couldn't become the reality that the U.S government was hoping for. Well...perhaps for the best, as you were saying, since those flying saucer disk vehicles always crash-land onto other planets! But wait... they always crash-land, yes...and always onto Earth, yes (which will happen because our stories will center around our home planet, of course...). Though, the point I'm making with this is that the aliens are usually quite successful at traveling with their saucer disk aircrafts, only crashing and ruining their spaceship when they attempt to land on other foreign planets. So essentially, the only problem for the aliens is their landing trajectory, always leading to unfortunate crashes. :(
So while in reality the flying saucer disk wouldn't work well in the first place, it seems in our fictional stories, aliens are just super bad at landing their flying spaceship. They need to hire actual alien space pilots, Mo-o-o would say. :lol

And well... what any self-respecting protege of the rainbowfaces would not have some alien memorabilia? :OhYou

There has indeed been speculation about whether past or present microbial Martian life could be possible as a result of the traces of water found there, and I would love to see that discovery happen someday! The implications would be amazing!

Yep, yep, yep. Mo-o-o would be excited to know about that as well. Though, I'm wondering as well when astronomers will discover evidence of life that used to roam on Mars, not just microbial life found in remaining water. Since from what I've learned/heard about Mars, it should've been a habitable planet for life to be sustained before its atmosphere was completely stripped by the solar winds from the sun. Which unfortunately, was due to the weakening of its magnetic field a very long time ago.

@Sneak @Mumbling Mo-o-o-o really appreciate everyone that is either willing to chip in or have it shipped to them. :wub
:CeraHAPPY

Also, just to let you guys and everyone else know, @StardustSoldier has already volunteered to incur the entire cost of the LBT 3 script. The only problem we may be having at the moment is that none of the scripts ship to Canada for him, unfortunately. At least, that's what it says when he tries to bid for the LBT 3 script. However, he has contacted the seller to see if they can arrange for the LBT 3 script to be shipped to him. If not, then having it shipped to you instead Mumbling sounds like a good plan. I was even originally planning on purchasing it on my end, then sending it to Stardust directly afterwards if shipping isn't an option for him, but I think its a safer bet to have you get it Mumbling if the seller refuses to ship to Stardust.

Right now I am trying to find a way to transfer a money, to help someone else to purchase it if it is possible. But anyway, here's the question: Who is willing to buy and receive it?

It will be better if we cooperate.

Let's get at least one of two scripts for the start.

Yo-o-o-u can definitely help us for some of the costs of the LBT 1 script, if you can, that is. :yes
I'm not sure exactly how you can send money internationally as I haven't done it before, but Western Union seems like one option. If anyone else has other options, let me know!

I will think about putting an offer in, although it's quite a lot of money for both. Can have them shipped to the Netherlands or to my boyfriend in the US so that shouldn't be an issue. I'll put a reminder on my calendar on the day it ends, to see if any offers have been made.

Same for you, if you help with the cost of the LBT 1 script, that is super duper appreciated! :cerahappy

You’re welcome @StardustSoldier @ImpracticalDino —I always have to check the seller’s other items when one of these listings comes up, because I’m always hoping to see some LBT 7 drafts! (Someday…)

It’s too bad these scripts are so pricey… :rhett_ohsnap But yeah, I don’t even know if anyone other than us is really looking at them, so hopefully someone on this forum will have the chance to buy at least one.

Have some faith, Mu-u-ud Brother! The rainbow faces would want yo-o-ou to have some faith, anyway... :rainbowwave :rainbowThinking :petrieooohh
And also, I'm quite optimistic of our chances of finding more LBT scripts in the future, especially after finding out the LBT 1 script that Sneak bought on Scriptfly for $14.95, 6 years ago, may have possibly been hosted for sale on Scriptfly for over two decades already, even before the GoF existed. So I'm sure that, whether through Ebay listings, or literally just an obscure source or website that already has the script, we will eventually get most/all of the LBT scripts in the community's possession. :smile

I also don’t see why microscopic life couldn’t be transported through the universe via celestial bodies such as meteorites. If evidence of life did show up on Mars in the future, one would have to wonder if it was at all related to our planet’s life forms by some such means.

As for the state of human affairs these days…well, I can’t really put it any better than you already did. :bang
