All completely different.  Humans can't survive long term off the earth. 
  We would be defeated by the effects of gravity/radiation and many 
other challenges etc.  Even if we could design transportation to get to 
an extra solar planet (100% impossible imo) we'd die before we got to 
0.0001% of the journey.

Journeys to extra solar planets and contacting aliens are *never* going 
to happen so let's frame the discussions here within realistic 
boundaries.  This isn't a sci-fi group.
