Most scientists have concluded "we are not alone in the universe" as the universe most likely has life *everywhere*. If there is life on Mars for example, it will only show that their current view is right.

But let's stick to one out of 100 billion galaxies. In the milky way, we got 100 billion stars, and from what we now know, a large percentage got planets. Now, drop out all of those that is not inside the goldilock zone, there's still possibly a million planets in the right zone. Because there are so many, you're bound to meet life in some form.

SETI, looking for alien signals have looked at many, many stars. No luck, but since the amount of stars they have checked out equals a pint of water out of the entire amount of ocean on planet Earth, I'd say they haven't looked at many.

It's quite a mindfuck. The numbers involved are crazy.

And, considering this planet won't last that long, the sun will blow up eventually and we're about to fuck it up anyway, I'd say the only chance of survival is going into space, so we better start now.

Not getting into this, nor commenting because - well - it's simply not much fun. I'd rather go to a show.

Another shooting now in Texas.

This is superb. Can't wait for more discoveries
