There are many, many answers to this question, and I'm quite certain that if this question were asked of 1,000 different people you would receive 1,000 DIFFERENT answers. But personally I'd like astronomy to DEFINITIVELY answer MY one burning question. IS THERE INTELLIGENT LIFE ELSEWHERE IN OUR OWN MILKY WAY GALAXY ??? Now to some this might seem like an odd question, but I"m an amateur astronomer and I"m certain that if intelligent life were proven in our own backyard, then intelligent life would surely abound throughout the universe. Our galaxy is 100,000 light years across and our universe is over 15 billion years old. So if there no other intelligent life out there, man o' man what an ENORMOUS. WASTE of space. Remember, "Keep looking up. :)
