We are already yelling at it, sending it records, taking pictures of it and showing off by crashing things into asteroids. Sometimes the universe is just not that into you. ^/s

Us yelling at it is like you standing in NY and yelling at me in LA, but actually that is probably a million times louder and faster.

It could all just be… Dead Space . . .

But I hope to god not. I’d like to see another intelligent race of beings before I die at the tail end of the century.

think about it this way my friend. billions of galaxy's, (possibly infinite if all theories of physics are correct) and all of them have at least a couple billion stars and planets, sometimes even trillion stars, (like our neighbor, the Andromeda Galaxy.) so the odds of there being intelligent life is in our favor.

I agree, it’s just so vast and currently too empty(right now atm). It gets discouraging. I’m almost 30, just turned 28 this year; and even Mars seems to have slipped through my grasp.

yeah. but personally, I thin aliens are already here. just not showing themselves for some reason. did you know, during the 1900s when we started making nuclear bombs ufo sightings skyrocketed? maybe they're watching us advance for some reason, or maybe feel threatened.

It was also the beginning of the Cold War.

Did you know that over half of the UFO sightings in the late 1950's through the late1960's were actually sightings of top secret reconnaissance aircraft like the U-2 and the SR-71?

Rather than acknowledgeing the existence of the top-secret flights or saying nothing about them publicly, the Air Force decided to put out false cover stories, the C.I.A. study says. For instance, unusual observations that were actually spy flights were attributed to atmospheric phenomena like ice crystals and temperature inversions.

''Over half of all U.F.O. reports from the late 1950's through the 1960's were accounted for by manned reconnaissance flights'' over the United States, the C.I.A. study says. ''This led the Air Force to make misleading and deceptive statements to the public in order to allay public fears and to protect an extraordinarily sensitive national security project.''

​

They were mostly training flights. You need to become proficient at flying such very high performance aircraft before you are trusted with an operational mission.

Aplanet that overlook a galaxy, it can't exist.
