SETI

The search for extraterrestrial  intelligence is a popular subject among the science fiction community. Are aliens really out there somewhere?

 Most of america believes there is something out there, in space, besides us. There is so much more space surrounding us it would be a waste if no one else was out there. Also, traveling the millions of miles takes a long, long time. If aliens are trying to get to us then they will have to travel for a while, they could be trying to find us right now? If they are not trying to physically visit us but trying to get our attention with a signal, it will still have to travel a long distance to get here. Maybe we will hear from them soon?

However, there are a lot of skeptics too. If aliens do exist why don't they already know a way to contact us? Aren't aliens smarter than us so they should know a way to get around space already. We are a relatively young planet, if life exists somewhere else it must be older than us. There are not many planets with atmospheres like ours that are can sustain life.

I think that there is some kind of life out in space besides us. There are so many other planets and other solar systems that could have a planet with life. It might just take aliens a while to get to us.
