Of course even if you don't believe in "aliens" or what not, you will be tempted to ask about them.
As Neil deGrasse Tyson once wrote in an article "9 times out of ten when people find out you are an astrophysicist the first thing they ask you is related to out of earth life".
The reason for this is interest in unknown subjects, all you can do in this situation is to have your beliefs.
this subject is very much like time, a lot of people study it but no one can actually know about it until its been solved.
Who know what we might know about aliens in 20 years, they might even be living on earth and they might not be as we have been perceiving them for all these years on television, in news or anywhere for that matter.
1. what do you think about life in space and how may it help or disadvantage our planet and its technology?
2. Do you find the study of life on other planets interesting? Why?
