Will We Soon Find Life in the Heavens?

Is there?

My personal opinion is that their is aliens but not our size, Here on earth millions of years ago we started of as tiny little particals that over time natural selection or evolution as some call it, took place to make bigger and better cretures such as us humans. So if we began like that why can't people believe they have yet. Us humans haven't been on Earth for ever, so maby life on other planets havent evolved yet. I also believe that every planet in our solar system have gone through stages. Earth i feel is in the middle stage and after a while will end up like mars or the sun, all dried out. Scientists are telling us about global warming, its not as if only earth will ever expeiriance this, what if mars did and life their died out. We haven't been here long enough to even suspect what happens on other planets.

aliens

I think we should stop wasting our money on these projects. If the aliens are so sophisticated they will contact us. let them spend all their money, if they have any, and contact us. or perhaps they are a bunch of snobs and they have no interest in us at all. so why bother?

Life in the Heavens

Well the best way to find other life in the universe is to look where at best odds it may be. Why are we spending all this money looking on Mars when it is so obvious there is no life there. Now if you look at Titan or Enceladus Satan's moons to me it would serve us better to look for life on a planet or moon that is most like our Earth. Titan has an atmosphere with %95 nitrogen, hydrocarbons on the surface, and electric activity in its atmosphere. Enceladus with its tiger stripes and water volcanoes and internal heat. Now I am no scientist but it would seem these are the first places we should be looking for life outside our planet. At least trying to establish interplanetary bases with elements we know that we can use to sustain life for these bases. Our planet and its life cycle is a model for life in the universe and it is this model we should be looking for in the universe to find life. In addition we should seriously be looking into establishing a moon base and mining the moon for H3 to bring it back to Earth and use it to power nuclear fusion plants.

Alien

I do believe there are some alien on other earth-like planets.

Life on another Planet or other Planets

When one contemplates the vastness of space, with the billions upon billions, of galaxies out there, there must be something, somewhere, that moves from point A to point B, under it's own power.

Maybe just maybe, there are as many differnet life forms in all of interstellar space, as there are grains of sand on Earth.

Then again, maybe, just maybe, we are alone, a one-of-a-kind, per chance happening that has occured in our Milky Way Galaxy.

The quest to find these answers must, and will go on. Mankinds curiosity will have it no other way.

And if there are other life forms capable of communicating with us from the vastness of interstellar space, then they too, will have it no other way, and eventually contact of some kind, might be made.

Hopefully not

After reading G.H. Reynolds' article in Popular Mechanics, "Why I Hope there's No Life on Mars," I hope there aren't any extra-terrestials nearby. No, I'm not saying this because I just watched Predator, Alien, Independence Day, Signs, or E.T., but because of the health risks. Imagine we find bateria on Mars. The media will be fighting to get the best story, scientists are bidding to the first to examine and experiment the new species, and Hollywood would let the Sci-Fi floodgates open. But here's the problem. Because we don't know anything about this new bacteria, we aren't sure if it will kill us or start wiping out indiginous species on earth. The opposite can occur as well. Will it die because its food source isn't on earth or will our own bacteria kill off all those on Mars? Then classifying the little boogers becomes a challenge as well. Is this a native strand of the flu or did NASA send a very sick astronaut to Mars? Do you see what I'm getting at?

I'm sure it would be fascinating to talk to Mr. Spok and Jar-Jar Binks, but for right now I'd rather scientists find out how to keep us and other life protected before we find E.T. with the Martian flu.

Life is out there!

Darwin doesn't state we evolved from apes he just says we have a common ancestor

Extra terrestial intelligent life

When, in my limited intelligent thoughts, I consider the odds of finding other intelligent life in the galaxy, I realize that we may be alone or almost alone. The dinosaurs reigned for millions of years. Eventually, they were wiped out by major events of pure chance, i.e. meteor strikes, volcanic explosions, etc. I do not think mankind as we know it,could have evolved, or even survived, next to the hundreds of preditory species that existed on earth, had they also survived catastrophic events. This raises a question,,,Are humans really the accident? If we evolved from mammals, we may have remained underground, relying on only survival instincts and quite possibly evolved into something completely different. So, finding intelligent life, good luck!
