We do not know ,...yet. May be one day we will be able to say yes. Of course , you realize that the question can never be answered in the negative

There are many living beings in the rest of the galaxy and we presume in the rest of the universe and some of us are here now. Over the centuries, your planet was a curious place to visit once or twice and was not considered very interesting . Sure, your wars showed us how undeveloped you are as a species and your infantile,(in cosmic terms) dependence on god concepts does not bode well for you. We are now showing an interest in you because it is not often that we get to observe a species commit suicide. You are so close to maturing as a sentient species and it will be a shame to see you kill yourselves. There are just not enough of you becoming rational enough to force the issue. You let the least among you determine your fate, so be it.

There is no way to know for sure but if you think about it logicaly it is hard to imagine that there isn't. There are Billions of stars in our Galaxy with planets and there are billion of galaxies and an infinate universe. What are the chances that life only managed to form on one planet in all the hundreds of billions out there. Now that doesn't mean there are any super advanced civiliazations that have the capabilities of traveling hundreds of millions of lightyears in space craft or even a civilization as advanced as ours. But it is likely that there is some kind of life somewhere.

The probability that Earth is the ONLY planet to have some type of life on it is so remote that it really doesn't exist.
The better question is: Is there any living being alive NOW somewhere other than Earth. Given the age of the universe, entire cultures could have emerged, evolved, lived and died off hundreds of millions of years ago. Or, they may do so thousands of years after we deplete and destroy the Earth.

Depends on your definition of outer space. If outer space starts at the edge of our atmosphere, then there are two people who know of living in it, orbiting the Earth in the International Space Station

Tough question, I would say probably not because outer space doesn't really support any life that we know of, but there's a remote chance that some form of life may be able to survive in the vacuum of space. There may be life on other planets, but they're not in outer space, they're in their own inner atmosphere.

I believe every galaxy throughout the universe probably has 1 life supporting planet, just like the Milky Way has Earth.

that is the million dollar question. personally i think that out there in the universe there has to be other forms of life otherwise, what a huge waste of space!

With 100's of billions of galaxies, quadrillions of stars, and about a 100 billion of which have solar systems, then I would say, 'yes'.
