Because it is almost a mathematical impossibility for life to have formed even here. It takes 2 to the 200,000 power of combinations for life to form accidentally, but Earth only had 2 to the 200th power of chemical collisions. So life is that rare or it came from outside interference with Chance.

To your question I have to ask two. What is your definition of “Outer Space?” Some people use that term to include planets in outer space. Second, why are you assuming there is no life in outer space? Answering my second question would answer your question at the same time. This is just a mind exercise for you to find an answer you will both understand and with a result that would be acceptable to you.
Good thoughts to you my friend.

There IS life in outer space. Those aboard the International Space Station are the most obvious example.
During the Apollo 12 Moon landing EVA, parts of the Surveyor 3 spacecraft (which had landed on the Moon 2 years previously) was found to contain some bacteria that had survived the harshness of space.
Just two small examples for mans' tiny mind to fathom in this infinite universe.

There are over 70 Sextillion (70 followed by 21 zero's) stars in the world. Most of those stars have their own system of planets. Our planet is the only known planet with an atmosphere that is known to be able to sustain life. That is why there isn't any known life in outer space.
But who knows? Maybe we'll find a place where there is a possibility of life one day (but not Mars, Mars sucks).

Who says??? As far as I know we haven't explored outer space thoroughly to jump to that conclusion. The probability that we are the only human like creatures in the universe is low. We live on one planet in one solar system in one galaxy.
Yahoo search says there are about 12,800,000 web pages for Life in Outer Space.

Who says there isn't. They may not look like we do but why not? I have read and seen in some history books that primitive cave dwellers have drawn pictires before the beginning of written history of people with helmets on their heads like space helmets. So who were they? Look up Roswell. It is reported that a space ship with a pilot crashed into the area.

have you thought of the fact that what ever life there is in outer space
if any,may not be in the same form we are used to?think of people traveling in time and space.think of people communicating with others miles away-not by telephone.just maybe life as you and I know it is the crudest form there is.

It isn't proven yet that there's no existence in outer space...but it is impossible for human to live because of absence of oxygen

No one really knows if there is life out there or not, you would have to be retarded not to think there is considering that there are trillions of stars with trillions of planets orbiting them. Oxygen may only exist here on earth, but that doesn't mean different lifeforms also require oxygen. Their bodies could live off of helium for all we know and very little outside this little planet we do know. We know next to nothing about what is happening outside of our own planet much less our solar system, then consider what we know about our galaxy...nothing, then our universe......absolutely nothing.
