      There is a lot of universe out there, it would be very unusual if Earth was the only place that life was able to be created. So yes I think somewhere out there, there is life. I don’t think they will be little green “Hollywood” type aliens.

      Yes, for sure. But they probably haven’t visited!

      The term “Alien” simply means something we’ve not encountered before and I definitely believe there is some sort of life out there somewhere. There are hundreds of planets already identified that fulfill certain conditons for life but it will take the space agencies a long time to visit them all and check. Some people have set up satellites and detectors here on Earth to try and intercept any signals that may be given out by advanced life on another planet. No luck so far though..

      I’m not sure I *believe* in aliens exactly, but I wouldn’t be surprised if there was some other kind of alien life in the universe. It would be awesome if we found some, but they would probably be very different from what we think of as aliens, or even different from what we would recognise as life.

      Yes, or I want to at least. Whether or not it would be a good idea to meet them, I don’t know. I’d like to think the reason we haven’t so far is that they are so advanced they just don’t think we are worth bothering with.
