Do Mormons believe God the Father was a man from another planet who married and had spiritual children with Jesus being firstborn and Lucifer being second?
God the Father is an eternal being, the creator of the universe, and the spiritual father of all of all mankind. Mormons believe that Jesus Christ was His only begotten son, and firstborn of all the spirits of mankind. Lucifer rebelled against God, and was cast out of the heavens along with a third of the host of heaven.
A minor, and insubstantial, part of LDS theology holds that there is a star, called Kolob, which is the start closest to the throne of God. We don't know where that place is in the universe. Nor does it much matter, since God has the power to speak to, and even appear to, individuals on earth when He sees fit.
The description of Mormon theology in your question twists little pieces of truth in a way that would be unrecognizable to any devout Latter-day Saint.
Additional Comment:
The above question was gleaned from a Wikipedia description of Joseph Smith's cosmology - aka Mormon Cosmology. No reference was made to LDS.
Answer:Yes, I think that sums up their belief.

Who do Mormons believe lucifer is?
Members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormon" church) believe that Lucifer (Satan, the Devil) is the father of all lies. He is the enemy to God and righteousness. He strives to lead people away from truth. Mormons believe that Lucifer was once a son of God and an angel in heaven, but was cast out for rebelling against God and seeking to usurp God's power and authority. He seeks to tempt people away from God. Mormons believe that as Satan has no physical mortal body, mortal man has power over Satan (meaning that nobody can use the exuse 'the devil made me do it.) They also believe that Satan looks like a man (not as a beast or someone with red skin and horns.) Check out the "Related Links" to learn more.
Are children you have on earth basically other Mormons waiting to come down from heaven or?
Well, if you have children on earth they are not waiting to come down from heaven, since they have already come down from heaven. Nobody can be a Mormon without being baptized into the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, which could not happen without their knowledge and consent. So - no, unless your children were baptized Mormons, they are not Mormons.
Do Mormons invest and any alcohol related business?
Mormons believe in something called the Word of Wisdom, which is basically a guide to what you should or should not eat. Most people follow the counsel of the Word of Wisdom and have nothing to do with alchohol and stuff like drugs, but it's entirely possible that someone in the world does do alchohol. The vast majority or Mormons don't though. *Note - The comment 'The vast majority or Mormons don't though' is just the opinion of the person who wrote the first posted answer. Improved answer - In reference to Mormons and the 'Word of Wisdom', it is a law of health revealed from God for the physical and spiritual well being of His children. God revealed which foods are good for us and what we should avoid because they are not good for human bodies.
What do Mormons believe about the devil?
Members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the 'Mormon' church) believe that the devil (also called Satan or Lucifer) is a very real being. He is the enemy of righteousness and strives to lead us away from God. Mormons believe that men have power over Satan. Satan cannot force a mortal man or woman to do anything, he can only deceive them and tempt them to turn from God. Mormons believe that Lucifer was once an angel in heaven, but disobeyed God and then was cast out of heaven and became the devil. When he was cast out, some of the host of heaven chose to go with him and have become his minions. Mormons also believe that although Satan does not have a physical body, he looks like a man. He doesn't have red skin, horns, and a tail, nor does he look like a monster or a serpent. Check out the "Related Links" to learn more about what Mormons believe about the devil.
