Alien contact in our lifetime

[Klopikkon]

Very interesting debate - One side always argues that if there was life they would have contacted us, while the others usually don't think they exist, Im pretty sure they are out there Maybe on some other Level of communication which we cannot reach them. Also Just because something Hasn't been done Yet doesn't Make it impossible - there's only one thing that will Tell And that's Time

I hope we do Meet a different race someday Because the Human Race is broken into Many factions - Maybe it Could unite us all in a common cause

Hopefully if aliens openly visit us, religion (for the most part) disperses and instead of basing our years on some guy who might've not even existed 2000 years ago, we start over from year 1, "After Contact"

Our Solar System only comprises of 8 planets (excluding pluto) and extends to near the kuiper belt. I think you mean Universe. We have looked tirelessly throughout the Universe, and to my knowledge we have found numerous planets within the so called 'hospitable zone', not too close, and not too far from the sun. Having said that, take into account we are trying to observe things happening millions of light years away, in the past. Chances are if we do somehow find extraterrestrial life, it would probably be long extinct, unless it was intelligent enough to self-sustain for millions of years.

The sun is a star, there are billions of stars in our universe. I strongly believe that there is something else out there. The universe is massive and is constantly expanding, it's completely ignorant to think that our planet is the only planet able to sustain life.
