“Two possibilities exist: either we are alone in the Universe or we are not. Both are equally terrifying.”

Arthur C. Clarke.

Are we so truly naive and self-conceited in believing that humans are the only sentient life-form throughout the entirety of, not just the solar system but outer space itself?

Wake up.

I don’t think so.

It’s like saying you know what is going to happen to yourself next week, or the week after that.

The simple fact is that you don’t know.

The problem with us humans is that everyone thinks that they know it all.

We don’t.

Humanity has for a very long time held a fascination in the field of space. Take a look back at all the science fiction films and television shows that have been thought up and produced over the years to-date.
