This assumes they are forced to spend a lot of time in space. If on the other hand they are capable of "folding" space to get wherever they want to go, then they'd have the luxury of going places just for fun.

If folding space was an option we'd likely have tourists from Polaris hunting wolves in Alaska, with Palin, on gravity skiffs.

I've got the DVD. One of my favourite movies and probably the first anti-nuke movie ever made.

Nothing could make Brussell Sprouts palatable.

If they can make it sound logical enough and cite sufficient references, we'll probably just let them eat us.

REAL references though.

No Wikipedia or ET-biased bullshit.

You better believe I'll be checking Snopes too.
