While I would agree that we are a long way away from finding it, I have no reason to believe the opposite as I have no knowledge of what is out there. catch-22 I guess.

The bottom line is, there's really no way to tell. Look how long it took for intelligent life to evolve on this planet... Billions of years. Knowing that, there could have been hundreds of species of life on other planets that have already evolved and become extinct, and we'd have no way of knowing about it. There could be other hundreds that are just in the infancy of evolving into intelligent lifeforms, still living like cavemen, eating raw meat. Then there's those that are WAY ahead of us as far as evolution is concerned. When you look at how far our species has evolved, technologically, in just a thousand years, and then consider how infinitesimal those thousand years are in the grand scope of time? Just for how old our planet is? Yeah. Mind blowing to think about, actually. We may never see life on other planets, in the lifetime of our species, to be honest.

Damn it. I just said that... kinda, in lost of pieces. But yeah. It's entirely possible that there is life out there and the universe is so vast that our spieces may never make contact with it in the existence of our time.

I'm just hoping for some ridiculous technological breakthrough, ala what we've seen in science fiction movies. Some kind of warp travel, wormhole travel, something. That is realistically the only way we're ever going to be able to explore our solar system effectively, let alone our galaxy and beyond. We need to defy the current known rules of physics to do so. Seems a little... unrealistic at the moment. Then again, who ever thought we'd leave our planet a hundred years ago?

I have never been able to wrap my head around the idea that "alien life forms" visit our planet. That seems like an arrogant human mind set and a very mid century fantasy. I think we look at ourselves in this high light of accomplishments such as space travel and flight and the sciences and then fantasize that if there were other life forms on other planets that they for some reason would be similar to us not only in form but also in technical advances. I just don't buy into that thought.
But I certainly do believe in other life forms out there. As Pez says the odds are just too good. What form those life forms take is always fun to imagine and where those life forms are as far as intelligence goes is also fun to imagine. But meh...I don't believe there are rocket ships from other planets visiting us. That's what we do to other planets. I do think we are alone in space travel. I think that's fairy tale thinking at it's best which we humans do very well.

Yeah but let's face it Stu G isn't from this planet.
