If we have 'neighbors' out there on another planet, why would we not have seen at least one of them over the past several billion years. I don't buy into that malarkey. I believe that, like everything else the government involves itself in, it's just another way to waste money. IMO space exploration serves only a very limited purpose, if that. If anything was found, how would it be possible to utilize its resources to benefit us?

I do admit to asking a few stupid people, "What planet are you from," and I have seen some that looked like they may not be earthlings. lol
