    Human also need an oxygen gas atmosphere like aquatic creatures need water. An intelligent life can beat these limitations by building space suits, ships ect.

    Yes, but it would be more difficult because it takes a lot more energy to bring reserves of water into orbit.

      Useless thought of the day! The thread below got me thinking. If Intelligent life is aquatic (mermaids may be) will they be able advance as much as human beings. Imagine that aquatic beings more intelligent as human beings are living in the underground oceans in Europa. Will they be able to construct space ships and travel to earth? I find it difficult to imagining how. So Intelligent beings should equally have support from the environment to flourish. Opinions? Thoughts? Fallacies?

        I'd say it is : Owning a Mac, running Windows on it, and then spending enough time on a Microsoft centric website to be the highest poster there - now, that's pure genius! :rolleyes:

          Exactly. All the more reason that something aquatic, 20 foot tall or having four legs would be doomed to failure.
