Adam has a desire to meet [[alien]]s and to see the stars, to be in [[space]] looking down at [[Earth]]. He wants to known what life is like out there, to travel, and to learn from them; he doesn't believe aliens are [[evil]], but just more advanced that humans. [[Geoff Mitchell|His father]] has [[arthritis]], which despite humanity's [[science]], is currently [[cure|incurable]] and only able to be made to [[pain|hurt]] less, but with an alien's understanding of [[metabolism]] and experience with wear and tear of bodies, ''would'' be able to cure it. With all it takes to travel beyond their planet, aliens would have much [[knowledge]] to impart to humanity. | Adam has a desire to meet [[alien]]s and to see the stars, to be in [[space]] looking down at [[Earth]].

Adam doesn't believe it would be [[cheating]], just a [[short cut]], and belives humanity could make a trade by sharing works, such as those by [[William Shakespeare]]. Even if they didn't want anything in return, Adam writes that — like [[file sharing]] — it can feel good to "show off" something you own by sharing it, knowing that you got there first. | Adam doesn't believe it would be [[cheating]], just a [[short cut]], and belives humanity could make a trade by sharing works, such as those by [[William Shakespeare|Shakespeare]].

Adam concludes, writing that that is why he wants to meet an alien. To learn from them, to travel with them, to "[[vision|see]] what they see", and to be their [[best friend]]. | Adam concludes, writing that that is why he wants to meet an alien.
