Do you think there are other life forms out there?

@funacct: I don't know, you are so funny!! What makes you think up these questions?
Let's get clear, where is "our there"? You can drive down the street in just about every town and there are ALL walks of life "out there"! Ha ha ha
But if you are referring to outer space I am thinking probably so

@Tamara: I came up with this because I was watching the news and they were interviewing two astronauts and asked them the same question.

@Tamara: ps never thought of out there that way before. Now you have me thinking.

@funacct :
Probably out there somewhere...but probably so far away that we'll never encounter them in my lifetime...

no way we are the only beings out there, but we may never know.

@Tamara: @Jjj: @edcummings2909: so don't you think it would be interesting to encounter them? Are they really the images we think with the big bug eyes and long pointed fingers? Or are they just like us? Would they be scared of us or want to get to understand us? Ok my crazy mind

It takes a miracle to have all the ingredients for life on planet earth and conditions favorable for us to develop into intelligent beings.So far we haven't found any other planets that is within our reach that can sustain life. The Perseverance Rover sitting on Mars has samples but we have to retrieve them. Plans changed and those samples are just sitting there.The universe is immense we are just a speck of dust in comparision. It cannot be ruled out that another planet with the building blocks for life like earth exists.

@funacct : Definitely - but too far for us to every see evidence - unless someone or something develops FTL travel

@ChrisR: looks like Ellon is trying.

@funacct :
Elon can try. Matt Damon was there and was growing potatoes.

@funacct: My first alien and I named her Obo short for snowball . I sure miss her too
