Yeah, shows where they come here for resources, especially water, really bug me. I mean, there's all kinds of water on Europa and Enceledus, and I would think melting that ice, while requiring some work, would still be a lot easier than fighting humanity.

I mean, there's all kinds of water on Europa and Enceledus, and I would think melting that ice, while requiring some work, would still be a lot easier than fighting humanity. Not only that, but they're wasting huge amounts of fuel/energy by coming so deep into our sun's gravity well. Really, the only plausible reason that I can think of for aliens wanting to invade earth would be if they needed it to live on... which of course assumes they happen to like EXACTLY the same environment we do. Even then, I'd say a civilization capable of interstellar travel on the scale necessary to threaten earth is almost certainly capable of planetary terraforming projects, possibly even planetary relocation.
