The only people in space are on the space station. I don't think they can prove or disprove the existence of extraterrestrials.

However, 'Does alien life exist?' is a good question that's been asked many times. I've got a good answer--good for me, anyway. When i say "life" i mean "intelligent life". We all know microbes also crawl in space.

We live in a very small part of the universe. It is very likely that there is other life somewhere else, because it is just so big. But consider this: Only one out of billions of species that have lived on this earth has become really intelligent--us.

We have very big brains and therefore a very big head, and it is hard for us to give birth, its a very painful process. We have defied the laws of evolution: We are almost blind, we cannot hear well and we our sense of smell is nothing. Nor do we have big claws or razor sharp teeth to defend ourselves against other more dangerous animals. It is a miracle we could sustain ourselves.

Then we got technology and immediately began to use it to kill our brothers and sisters, because we MUST be King of the Hill. We almost destroyed the whole damn planet in the Cold War, and we've been exceedingly lucky that no gigantic asteroid has come our way in the last 65 million years since the dinosaurs (the last Kings of the Hill) all died out.

So, it is possible that there is other intelligent life out there. But, is it now? Humans have been intelligent for around 100,000 years. That's 100,000 years out of 13,700,000,000 (13 billion seven hundred million). Who says the other intelligent life has risen to spacefaring ability in this time period? What if their civilization has got old and died out while we were climbing down out of trees?

There's a lot of space and time during which other intelligent life could have evolved. I'm not sure we aren't alone at the moment but because i believe that the universe is teeming with life, i don't think we'll be alone forever.

YMMV.

If we could prove the existence of aliens, I believe a big hubbub would have been made about it and we would all know about it!
Although some scientists assert that the sheer size of the universe makes it unlikely that life is only present in our tiny spot in the universe, others say it was unlikely enough for US to even have come about!
No one knows for sure; but it's fun to keep looking. :)

the in problem-free words human beings in area are on the area station. i do not imagine they could be able to educate or disprove the life of extraterrestrials. even with the undeniable fact that, 'Does alien existence exist?' is an excellent question it truly is been requested many circumstances. i have were given an excellent answer--good for me, besides. after I say "existence" i recommend "sensible existence". all of us comprehend microbes also move slowly in area. we stay in an somewhat small area of the universe. it truly is somewhat in all possibility that there is different existence some position else, because it truly is in problem-free words so massive. yet evaluate this: in problem-free words one out of billions of species which have lived in this earth has change into somewhat sensible--us. we've very massive brains and hence an somewhat massive head, and it truly is complicated for us to furnish beginning, its an somewhat painful procedure. we've defied the guidelines of evolution: we are virtually blind, we received't listen nicely and we our sense of scent isn't something. Nor will we've massive claws or razor sharp the teeth to shelter ourselves adversarial to different extra risky animals. it truly is a miracle shall we keep up ourselves. Then we were given technologies and on the instantaneous began to apply it to kill our brothers and sisters, because we must be King of the Hill. We virtually destroyed the entire damn planet contained in the chilly warfare, and we've been somewhat fortunate that no massive asteroid has come our way contained in the purely right sixty 5 million years because the dinosaurs (the purely right Kings of the Hill) all died out. So, it truly is achievable that there is different sensible existence accessible. yet, is it now? people were sensible for round 100,000 years. it truly is 100,000 years out of 13,seven-hundred,000,000 (13 billion seven-hundred million). Who says the different sensible existence has risen to spacefaring ability in this time period? What if their civilization has were given old and died out at the same time as we were hiking down out of timber? there's a good type of area and time interior of which different sensible existence ought to have advanced. i'm no longer particular we're not on my own immediately yet because i believe that the universe is teeming with existence, i do not imagine we are going to be on my own always. YMMV.

No Aliens, just really, really, really vast. Huge, super big to blow your mind. But, God made it so big we can't really fathom the size in our little heads... So we look to it like a sign... He is BIG!
