Do You Think Life Exists — or Has Ever Existed — Somewhere Besides Earth?

Yes. Am I sure of it? No because I don’t have any evidence for it but I think that there has to be some sort of life out there. There are way too many planets and moons across the various star systems in our own galaxy. I believe in an older post this year I mentioned that there are around 100 million planets out there in our galaxy alone. But our galaxy is just one of millions and trillions of galaxies out there – we don’t even know the exact number. Now how many would that make in the entire universe – I can’t do that kind of math.

I am not arrogant enough to think that this planet and we are so special that we are the only living things out in the vastness of space. So even though I don’t know for sure I would bet that there is some intelligent life or just life out there in the vastness of the universe, living on some rock that is traveling around some star in a system. Some will be much more advanced than us and others will be a lot less advanced.

I want to go to outer space! See the universe and explore the galaxies. Someday I hope we know for sure and get to meet some friendly aliens who wish us no harm. Who wants to share technology and make things good for each other. Check out various planets, chase a comet, meet new alien species, try out their food and drink and share ours. See the various cultures and really experience the universe in all her glory. And ofcourse, to bed the sexy alien women! Now that’s an adventure.
