"Alien Worlds"???? What happen, did the word "Exoplanet" sounds to hard to understand?


Why not call it "E.T. Worlds"? 


or "little green men worlds"


Alien sounds....too alien.


What happens when an alien from a  alien world arrives on earth, is he an illegal alien?




Stupid NASA spends all day trying to come up with new names for rocks.
