    I dont think there is life on other planets

    maybe a few plants and cockroaches but apart from that NO!!

    oh maybe some fishes.

    I dont think there are any green aliens with 3 eyes and spaceships though

    THATS JUST STUPID!

    we would so know it if there actually was!!!!

    can you eat the moons surface?

    I used to think so, but our planet is the only one that can

    have life because of the air and that.

    How do you know?

    Other planets species may not need air to survive.

    I'm not sure on this...but i think its only carbon based lifeforms that need water and oxygen

    How do you know that there isn't a planet with an environment identical to ours somewhere and we just aint picked it up? Also, different creatures and stuff may not need what we do, or could have evolved to cope with their environment.

    Maybe, but that's what I've heard anyway.

    Not totally sure I believe in it but..

    Statistical odds.

    Billions of stars in our galaxy. Billions of galaxies. Many of those stars are similar to our own. The universe is billions of years old. New research indicates that  when solar systems form there is a high probability of rocky planets forming. Of those a percentrage must surely fall into the goldilocks zone where it's just right for water to stay liquid.

    Also arrogant to state life as we know it is the only form in which life can exist. There may be forms of life living on gas-giants for example, things made from something other than carbon. Things that don't need water to survive. Can only speculate though. But it'd be a pretty big waste of space if we were the only ones who could appreciate it.

    i don't think it's entirely inconceivable for us to be the only civilised life in the universe

    i don't think it's inconceivable for us to be the only intelligent life in the universe.

    i don't think it's possible for there to be a non-carbon lifeform beyond perhaps a simple simple simple low Mr self replicator

    i'd probably believe that there has been life. i'm not convicned it will have lasted very long and i'm positive that two civilised lifeforms will never exist at the same time.

    Similar to what I think. There probably has been civilised life before at some point, and probably will be again, but the chances of this happening at the same time to me seems very low, although I think there probably has and/or will be a time where 2 intelligent lifeforms from different planets coexist, the chances of this being within our life time seem minuscule. That's not to say it's not possible though, just unlikely.

    yarr you're right. i think my main emphasis was on the fact that developed lifeforms will likely never be able to contact each other.

    consider ourselves as an example. we've been developed in terms of sending out waves etc for a negligible amount of time really. chances are we aren't going to be around much longer(maybe another discussion!) so i just can't see (with this exponential scientific growth model) how two lifeforms will ever be at equal capability.

    I think the same as this really.

    I also think that any other life out there will probably never have the capability to reach/contact us and we wont have the capability to reach/contact them, it just doesnt seem feasible that a life form could live long enough to develop such technology.

    Armageddon and all that, it doesnt just happen here.

    "To place a man in a multi-stage rocket and project him into the controlling gravitational field of the moon where the passengers can make scientific observations, perhaps land alive, and then return to earth--all that constitutes a wild dream worthy of Jules Verne. I am bold enough to say that such a man-made voyage will never occur regardless of all future advances."

    -- Lee deForest, American radio pioneer and inventor of the vacuum tube, 1957

    "Computers in the future may weigh no more than 1.5 tons."

    -- Popular Mechanics, "predicting" the relentless march of technology, 1949

    "There is not the slightest indication that nuclear energy will ever be obtainable. It would mean the atom would have to be shattered at will."

    -- Albert Einstein, German-born American physicist, 1932

    "There is no likelihood that man can ever tap the power of the atom. The glib supposition of utilizing atomic energy when our coal has run out is a completely unscientific Utopian dream, a childish bug-a-boo."

    -- Robert Millikan, American physicist and Nobel Prize winner, 1928

    "Flight by machines heavier than air is unpractical and insignificant, if not utterly impossible."

    -- Simon Newcomb, Canadian-born American astronomer, 1902

    "X-rays will prove to be a hoax."
