I’ve read a lot of crazy studies focused on Persia’s Iranian days.  The problem they still have is that some people think the stuff the Iranian regimes did reflects the true culture of Persia.  You know that’s like saying that Hitler reflected traditional German values.  Everybody’s had their unfair share of nut cases in charge.  Even America.  If you don’t believe me, read up on some twenty-first century history.  Things got real bad all over before they got better.

Our oldest religions teach that God created the universe, and all life in it.  That He created us in His image.  They say that is why all life is so similar to ours.  Other people theorize that an older race seeded or engineered life through the galaxy.  And others say that life has simply evolved along similar paths due to circumstances we don’t understand.  And then some ask if those theories are as different as they appear.  Not many like that question.

During the Revolutionary War my family was Tory.  We remained loyal to England.  Mostly.  We did very little real fighting though.  We were merchants after all.  And we were not named Hurst.  The elements of my family that survived in Normandy, also not Hurst, had a different agenda.  To them, the war in the Colonies was one more chance for France to weaken England.  They took it.  That was one of the more interesting times in my family’s history.

Persia went through some real changes back in the 2000s.  For one, they got rid of the name Iran.  Iranian fanatics did enough crazy stuff during the Islamic Jihad that the Persian Revolution wanted nothing to do with that name anymore.  They also made certain said fanatics contracted a permanent case of dead along the way.  And a surprising number of the Revolutionaries are still kicking.  A bit on the old side mind you, but they don’t forget.  Kinda scary that.

Everywhere we go, we find life that is compatible with us, that has the same basic genetic code.  Worlds we can live on are far more common and far more hospitable than pre-space scientists suggested.  Why?  Why are the Aliens we meet as human as we are?  Why do so many systems have so many habitable worlds?  Why is life out there related to life right here?  These are real big questions, and we are searching for the answers real hard.
