It's hard to look at the Webb images without thinking that there must be life and technology out somewhere else in the stars.

Reading the selfish gene is making me think the same thing.

Why does that only come from Webb images? You weren't getting that same sensation looking at the Hubble images before? If that's true, then welcome to the club! It took you a bit longer, but we're happy you're here now. ;P

"It's hard to look at the Webb images without thinking..."

What am I missing?

A charitable interpretation.

You're making the assumption the poster meant they didn't have this feeling before. They might just be repeating that, once again, it's difficult to do this with Webb. Hubble is irrelevant. Anything else is irrelevant. They're talking about the pictures here in front of us.

cheap shot?

I was absolutely agreeing with the sentiment. I clearly asked if the feeling was there before as well or if it was just from the new images.

Thanks for your charity though
