      Depends on what you mean by aliens… I definitely think there is life somewhere else in the universe but i don’t think any of it has ever visited earth!

      my reasoning is that life evolved on this planet and so it’s clearly possible. The sun is one of 100 billion stars in our galaxy and we now know that many many starts have planets. Even if only 10% of stars had planets like earth, that’s still 10 billion earth like planets in our galaxy. And we’re only one of billions of galaxies… so there are probably millions of billions of earth type planets in the universe… *some* of them must have evolved life too! But, sadly, almost all of those are so far away we;d never know about them…

      so yes I do think there are aliens, even intellgient aliens, somewhere but quite possibly not any in our galaxy so i don’t think we’ll ever know for sure! would be awesome if we did though!

      I agree with Cristina and Stephen Hawking on this! The chances of us being alone are really really really slim and I’m sure at least one of those other species out there will be in some way like us!
