As America seems enthralled today with both the Olympics and the Curiosity rover landing on Mars, it got me thinking. How much longer will it be before these two momentous events are combined? Yes, I’m talking about Interplanetary Olympics.Assuming the Curiosity rover successfully lands on Mars, what happens if life is discovered? Of course, any life that is discovered would likely be at the microbe level, so it probably wouldn’t be capable of taking part in a track and field event at this point in time. However, even the discovery of the building blocks of life would give credence to the possibility that there must be more advanced forms of life on the millions of planets out there.If there is other advanced life in the Universe, it’s entirely conceivable that one day there will be an Interplanetary Olympics. While we might think that an Interplanetary Olympics will never occur in the lifetime of most living on Earth today given our relatively limited space exploration so far, what if the other advanced life forms discover us first?
