ET ADOLPHUS EARTH-LIKE PLANETS

ET ADOLPHUS back from earthlike planets.
I just returned from visiting a few hundred earthlike planets in our galaxy and others. Yes, there are tens of millions of planetary systems similar to our own. Each one has its sun at the center of orbiting planets. Each one has at least one habitable planet where intelligent life does exist – some systems have more than one such planet.
Like humans, no star is exactly the same as another. It is also true that no star system is the same as another – each star, with its orbiting planets, is unique. I find this fact fascinating: although people are similar, although stars are similar, although star systems are similar, although planets are similar, each one is unique. Each one was born and will die. Each one exists in a unique space and time – each one never existed before or will ever exist again.
As we humans venture out into the universe in search of star systems closer to their birth than their death, in search of habitable spaces for our ballooning population, the ability to adapt will be a critical necessity. If the human species is to survive the chaotic and violent process of change in universal systems, every unique human trait must be employed – therefore every human being, each one of us, might very well be a key to humans surviving extinction.
As I encountered other intelligent beings in habitable zones, it was apparent that, although similar, they are different in many respects – not just in their physical characteristic but their behavior as well: some are more regarding of each other than humans tend to be, while others are more ruthless than humans know to be. Just as we can't explicitly predict human behavior the behavior of other intelligent beings is even more incomprehensible and unpredictable.
Well, fellow travelers I'm off again to the edge of our universe – this time to be inside a dying star at the end of its life. You earth-bounds look up and think about me once in a while, I'll get your thoughts even though we never meet.
