That's a great Topic.I hope we will talk a little on the topic.
We will find life.that's sure.there is nothing in universe that there is only one.Life may seem rare but it isn't.we may seem lucky to exist cause all this required conditions but if we weren't we couldn't think about how it is rare.We can live in so toxic conditions as are on Earth like oxygen,water,radiation and you have to open you're mind.life do not require water,oxygen,the same temperatures etc. I believe we will find some kind of life on Titan,IO or Europa.That will be first step.
We now know that there isn't advanced life in approximity of around 100mln light years but who knows?maybe they live 100 years and 1 day and tomorow we will get their Radio or TV signal.it can happen any day.and this will be first contact cause Radio signals travel at light speed.or maybe there is life really close but they are now 1000years behind us in evolution?
Inteligent life can exist in dry enviroments,extremly wet,cold or hot in water,metan etc they can be small like worms or big and spiritiul but definetly they look way different than us cause we adapted to live on Earth and if Earth would be different by 1% we would look so much different.
So even if you give really small chance to that life exist on random picked planet there are bilions of bilions of galaxys with bilions of bilions of stars each we would have few MILIONS of alien species.And there is possible that there are billions of universes in multiverse(not parallel) so it gives us Quadrillion of aliens on dozens of Quadrillions of planets. We are not special.Face it guys. And do not speak about aliens as there would be only one other civilization cause thats much much less likely that there are only one alien civ than that there are Quadrillions of them. I believe that There are plenty of them but universe/multiverse is so big that it's like fishing in Canada knowing that there is only one fish in only one of it's lake and you do not know in which.
They are there and some of them now builded community of hundreds of civilizations,some know of existance of only few and some are lone wonderes just us we are. But there will be the day that you will wake up turn on TV and see those red labels on every channel that we can now listen to alien radio.
