I'm only going to take issue with one word of that sentence...you seem to have missed the fundamental concept behind "dude".

Think you'll find Denbighshire County Council already owns Rhyl?

There have been mysterious signals intercepted from space. Scientists have observed a star dimming inexplicably, unless a species of advanced alien life are extracting energy from it. And how is the government dealing with this threat? Where is the fleet of armed space cruisers?

I think there is a serious ethical issue here. NASA has spent on average $16 billion per year on space exploration. It's great news that there might be other life out there, but lets face it, they're not going to be humanoid and/or capable of communicating with us I doubt, and they'd be so far away that by the time they'd received our e-mail they would all be dead! I know we are supposed to explore and learn, but some things just seem too far out of reach (literally) to be of any future benefit. I doubt they will find a cure for Cancer lurking on these planets.
Can't some things remain a mystery? I totally get the idea of "nothing ventured, nothing gained" and I appreciate all of the research and findings that have come about as a result of research and exploration. But it's just too far away.

Yes, the cure for cancer can remain a mystery - we need to get to the stars.

I'm always slightly miffed that any consideration of "alien life" is completely based on humanoids. So basically a planet can only be considered a possible for life if there's water on it; if it's temperature range is the same as earth etc. It seems very narrow minded for people who are meant to be really intelligent.
And consider Douglas Adams' view point that if there is an infinite number of planets, a planet inhabited by walking mattresses changes from a possibility to a certainty.
