I watched the science channel the other day, and I saw a scientist classifying 5 extraterrestrial civillizations. He said a type 1 civillization has 2 planets colonized, a type 2 has 3 planets colonized, a type 3 has several planets colonized, a type 4 has a vast trade network between solar systems, and a type 5 civillization has an empire of planets in multipile solar systems.I thought this guy is crazy, that means that our civillization isn't even a type 1 yet. He was assuming that there's other life in the universe and he was also assuming that they are far more advanced than us. I can't remeber his name but he is well known in the science community.I just think that astronomical science is excaping reality and dive bombing towards fiction. The perameters for life are very vast. It is usually assumed that life is common in the universe, however a planet must be a perfect distance from a star, the star has to be a certain type, there must be a giant gas planet to protect the planet..
