Alien Trade Deficit

We're going to have a bad trade deficit with the aliens.

If we find some aliens, they'll probably be beaming some light to us.

Aliens, aliens, you get your various kinds of aliens. Yet, nobody's
ever seen a alien, because then it wouldn't be alien.

As humans, we should probably learn more about them. For example, I'm
omnivorous. They might be good. Think of the jellyfish world where
only nice jellyfish live in the calm warm oceans for millions of years.
Some of them probably fry up pretty good.

Of course, that world might be nowhere within a hundred light years
from Earth.

Instead, the Earth is surrounded by the crushed remains of the solar
system, that floats around in nice stable orbits around the Earth as it
has been for so many billions of years.

So, with interstellar transport of planets, you can ship the jellyfish
planet to a different star over many hundreds of years. It would be
without light so might as well tow a sun behind it. At that point,
then, it could be moved closer to Earth. There might be problems with
that in igniting a sustainable sun from mass quantity less than that of
the native sun which might be exploding or giving other good ideas
about adding light to planets.

Or, to some other aliens' planet, then, we could sell them the fish to
eat. Being aliens, they might then fly to Earth and vaporize the water
or something. What if they have the opposite chirality in their life
chemistry and just poisonous, and have no market for Earth food? It
would be bad to add predators to their environment. So, it would be a
good idea to have all kinds of spaceships to help them.

To start building those kinds of things costs billions of dollars
except it only costs three dollars. Fishpond, on the moon. Four
million dollars. On the boat! We'll go with you! On the boat!

I'm not interested in alien stories, I'm talking about trade deficits
with the aliens.

Then again, you might find some Martians and then they could help you.
Either that or you could just use their facilities.

The question of trade deficit with the aliens is moot because there are
no aliens in a hundred light years. Obviously, trying to disprove
aliens is trying to disprove something along the lines of a higher
power. Financial derivatives are much more profitable than importing
high technology goods from aliens.

For example, the function to extract the most cash from an alien
spaceship would be useful.
