The planets, stars and the "space" b/t us and them are very real. It boggles the mind just how much distance there is b/t it all.
IMO, it's just logical that we can't be alone in this much space. Sure it's possible, but I don't think it's probable.

I'd say so.

I wouldn't even say its possible. Depending on what you meant by "alone". I guarentee that there is other life out there, its even possible we will find life on Saturn's Ice Moon (forget which one it is). It just won't be sentient life. Now it is possible that there is no other sentient life in the universe, but even saying that is a huge stretch if you ask me. As for life as a whole, its not even possible that with all the space there isn't any other living organisms out there

Why do you think that humans on earth are the only smart life out there? I don't have any proof that there IS other sentient beings, but with all this SPACE and us knowing comparitively nothing about the universe...we can't be the only ones with brains out there.

Titan . . . or Triton. One is Saturn's moon and the other orbits Neptune. I mix them up sometimes.

He's probably thinking of Jupiter's Europa.

Your right
A lot of scientists think the possibility of finding life under all that ice is fairly good. If only bacteria, its something

Nonsense, the government will just round up a crew of hearty whalers of questionable character (one of whom will have a hot daughter) to man an experimental spacecraft equipped with a specially-designed space harpoon.

The scope of the universe simply boggles my mind. Even as big as Antares is, it's only a tiny part of a single galaxy... and there are billions of galaxies.

:music:
Just remember that you're standing on a planet that's evolving
And revolving at nine hundred miles an hour,
That's orbiting at nineteen miles a second, so it's reckoned,
A sun that is the source of all our power.
The sun and you and me and all the stars that we can see
Are moving at a million miles a day
In an outer spiral arm, at forty thousand miles an hour,
Of the galaxy we call the 'Milky Way'.
Our galaxy itself contains a hundred billion stars.
It's a hundred thousand light years side to side.
It bulges in the middle, sixteen thousand light years thick,
But out by us, it's just three thousand light years wide.
We're thirty thousand light years from galactic central point.
We go 'round every two hundred million years,
And our galaxy is only one of millions of billions
In this amazing and expanding universe.
The universe itself keeps on expanding and expanding
In all of the directions it can whizz
As fast as it can go, at the speed of light, you know,
Twelve million miles a minute, and that's the fastest speed there is.
So remember, when you're feeling very small and insecure,
How amazingly unlikely is your birth,
And pray that there's intelligent life somewhere up in space,
'Cause there's ah heck all down here on Earth.
