I think it's very likely there is. Whether it's intellient, primitive or a little of both, I'm not sure. But if they are intelligent and they don't know we're here, they will eventually. We've been sending out radio waves for at least a hundred years and they've been travelling out into space since then. But when you consider the vastness of space they haven't gone very far. So I'd say it would be millions maybe billions before there's any contact because of the great distances and messages at this point can't go any faster than the speed of light. But millions of years from now, assuming humanity makes it that far, we'll be living on another solar system because by that time our sun will have died and we'll need another place to live. Who knows where that'll be and how such a mass transport will be organized. Maybe at that point space travel will be as common as driving to the grocery store. Or maybe it'll be a privilege only enjoyed by the rich. Who knows where we're headed. Anyway, that's what I think.

I beleive in life in outer space, but not intellegent life. However life does exist. Intelegent life, however, wont be for a long time.

For instance, there is no air or anything on mercury. On venus, you would have to survive temperatures ayt about 900F and pressures 90x greater than on earth. Mars, We have completely found no intelectual life. Jupitur, its a cloud of gas like saturn, Uranus, And Neptune. So, if where was life, it would be unlike weve ever seen. Pluto has an atmosphere frozen on the ground almost all of its over 200 year orbit.

Outside the solar system, we have no found any planets that are gas giants fo0r about 9000 lightyears, were we hsave found 1 icy earth. Otherwise, the only out of solar system planets we found are "hot jupiturs," that is, a planet over 2x the size of jupitur with an average temp. of 1300F.

We might find some blimp-like and gliding creatures within the coulds of a gas giant, some thing skating on the ice, or bacteria on certain planets, but no intellegent life for almost forever.

Of course there is life in outer space. It all depends on how you define life. Example: if you have a water hose at rest with no water pressure running through it, the hose will stay at rest. Once you put water pressure into the hose the hose will start to spray in random directions, as if the hose moves with a "life" of its own. Another example:all the terms of how long the Sun will burn are referred to as "life expectancy". So to answer, there is life in outer space it just depends on how you define LIFE.

Your question can't be completely answered. No sign of life of any kind has been found other than on earth. Science is an ongoing study. Perhaps some day there will be a way of exploring planets that are orbiting distant suns. With the many billions of possibilities, there should be many planets that are orbiting their star at the right distance to have a climate similar to ours. Who knows ?

Well, yes there is, because you didn't ask the right question. We are life. So simply, yes. If you want to know is there is life besides us in the universe that we can currently take into perspective, then yes. There is life on many planets in our solar system in the form of molecular structures. If you want to know if there is bipedal, oxygen breathing humaniods like the people of Earth then I can present no proof to say yes or no.

Yes, and we're part of outer space to the other lifeforms.

I think the more subtle question is, is there life in inner space ?

our solar system as I understand it .. is in outer space ~

Yes

Using mathematics to determine the chances of life elsewhere in the universe, one estimate determines that there are approximately 10^75 advanced societies.

Yes, because there were traces of water found on Mars, and where there's water, there's life. There were some small bacteria and other single-celled living organisms in the water that they found.
