Apparently, today is International Earth Day. I guess there's gotta be a day that celebrates the actual planet on which we dwell. I wonder how many people have seen the earth from above its atmosphere? Travelling in space has never really held an interest for me - fictional space travel, existence and experience has always been of great interest, however.
Exploring other worlds, interacting with alien beings and learning about unearthly cultures and technology - amazing. Superman's an alien. Now that's one otherworldly being I wouldn't want to mess with. Heat vision, incredible speed and strength and near-invincibility. No other alien lifeform really compares. Well, the predator race is pretty cool as well. And aliens make a formidable enemy - nothing a flamethrower can't deal with, though!
If given the choice of one alien power, I think I'd go with either super speed or telekinetic abilities. With enough speed - or perhaps the ability to manipulate time - you could do almost anything: defy gravity, run across the surface of a body of water, dodge bullets... With an ability that allowed you to move things with your mind, you could do anything physically: prevent things from happening - or make sure things happen in a certain way, freak people out - the possibilities are endless.
Of course, both superhuman abilities would be better than having to choose one ^L^
