Some Scientists think it,s impossible for life to exist anywhere else in the Cosmos. I disagree.

 SCIENTISTS SAY THAT IT'S NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE FOR LIFE TO EXIST ANYWHERE ELSE IN THE UNIVERSE.

I disagree. This is why:

There's more than 

1 TRILLION galaxies in the known Universe. That is according to a guesstimate by Scientists.

Only One percent of everything in the Universe is in galaxies. Everything else is just in open space.

The Milky Way Galaxy, in which we live, is only about 100,000 light years wide. It's not very big compared to a lot of others. We have approximately 200 Billion stars in our galaxy alone. Most stars have at least One planet around them. 

Using the "Drake Equation" each Scientist uses their own guess of numbers of how many planets may be in our galaxy, how many may have life, how many of the planets with life have intelligent life, etc.

Most Scientists say there's probably between 2 to 100 planets with life in the Milky Way Galaxy. Most Scientists say between 2-4 planets. My own guess is 2 or 3. Earth is one of them that I include in my guess. So, I guess 1 or 2 other planets have life in our galaxy. 

We will never know, for sure, all we can do is guess.

Now, take your guess of whatever you come up with, in my case, 3 and multiply it by 1 Trillion galaxies. Three Trillion planets with life in galaxies.

Now, remember that 99% of everything is in open space, not in galaxies. Add any number you want to that for planets in open space that may have life.

I will add another 

1 Quintillion planets in open space with life.

1,000,000,000,000,000,000.

Most of those planets won't have intelligent life. They might have microscopic, single cell bacteria that live in an environment of Methane, Ammonia and other gasses that are poisonous to humans and the planet might be -500° below Zero F! But, it is still life.

There's probably only 5 percent or less of those planets with life that have intelligent life and have radio telescopes that can send and receive signals and can communicate with us.

The closest star to Earth, besides the Sun, is: Proxima Centauri. It's about 4.2 light years away. Most other stars are Thousands or Millions of light years away! One light year equals 5.878 Trillion miles.

If the nearest star with a planet that has intelligent life listening to our radio signals is 10,000 light years away, the radio signals sent from Earth will take 10,000 years to get there. Their signals they send in response to us will take another 10,000 years to get to Earth! 

That is only if they can decipher our signals and figure out where they came from. 

That's a long time to wait for a response from aliens. In 20,000 years, when their signals for their response reaches us, human life might not longer exist.

I think that it's highly unlikely that we are the only intelligent life in the Universe.

Even if intelligent life does exist in the Universe, we will never be able to see the aliens through a telescope, not even with the Hubble or James Webb Telescopes. Theoretically, to see aliens 10,000 light years away, we would need a telescope bigger than the Sun. 

With a telescope that size, the aliens would only look like dots about the size of Ants. That's if they were the size of an avg human, 5.5 Feet tall. The image we saw through the scope would be of what the planet and aliens looked like 10,000 years ago.

If we wanted to see a much larger image of the aliens, we'd have to have a telescope about 3-5 times larger than the Sun! Then, maybe we could see a good image of what those aliens looked like 10,000 years ago. We would not get to see what they look like today.

Dinosaurs died off 65 Million years ago. So, if aliens live 65 Million light years away, if they looked at Earth through a powerful telescope, they would not see Humans, they would see Dinosaurs on Earth.

Humans have been reporting UFO and alien sightings for Millions of years. 

(The oldest Human remains that have been found were 7 Million years old.)

People all around the world, who have never met each other have reported alien sightings and abductions for a long time and most of their descriptions of aliens match almost exactly!

There are pictures of aliens and UFOS on the walls of the pyramids. Nobody knows how the Pyramids were built 5,000 years ago. Humans today can't recreate Pyramids exactly like they were made 5,000 years ago. Maybe they had help from aliens.

We have Crop Circles. Humans try to take credit for them. They say they made them for a joke. But, not likely. Because, there's no evidence of humans having been there and they pop up over night. They are also too perfect for humans to of made.

There are no foot prints, no tire tracks, no trash, like cigarette butts, lint from human clothes, human blood, paper, candy wrappers or any other human trash.

The circles are almost perfect 360 degree circles. Humans can't make a perfect crop circle. The corn or where stalks are not broken. The dirt below the circle is magnetized or has some other type of radiation coming off it.

Somebody is abducting Humans and Cows. They return the Cows and they appear to have been cut open with a laser. Humans aren't doing that.

The list goes on and on for why I believe there has to be life elsewhere in the Universe. I believe there's probably more than a Quintillion other planets with life in the Universe. Half of them with intelligent life the rest with unintelligent life.

What if NASA offered you a chance to go to Mars? Would you go?

DO YOU WANT TO GO TO MARS?
A lot of people, including myself, really love outer space. But, do you really want to go there? Probably not!

If NASA called you and gave you the chance to be one of only a dozen people to go on the first trip to Mars, would you go?
It sounds cool. I have always wanted to go to outer space. That would be so awesome to spend one day in space. If, it only took a few hours to get to Mars, that would be cool to.
But, be careful what you wish for, because, you might get your wish!
On the space station, they recycle water. In other words, the water they use to flush the toilet gets filtered and cleaned. Then it goes back into a tank and the Astronauts drink that water! Then, they pee it out into the toilet, it gets filtered again, goes back into the holding tank and repeats the process over and over again! Yuck!
They lose muscle mass, because, in almost 0 gravity, you don't get to work your muscles very much. They have to exercise 2 hours a day to prevent muscle loss.
Food doesn't taste the same in space as it does on Earth.
What would you do if you can out of food or if the food you have with you spoiled or rotted and it was no longer safe to eat? The nearest grocery store is about 35,000 miles away, on Earth.
It is a very small space on a rocket, space shuttle or the ISS. It would get boring up there in those cramped quarters. If there is someone up there with you that you don't get along with, that would suck for you! It will take about 5 or 6 months to get to Mars with today's technology. You'll be on the planet for probably 6 months to a year, then a 6 month long trip back to Earth. All that time, you'd be with someone you hate!
The closest Doctor to you will be on Earth! If you get sick or injured, you are on your own. You will be able to call the Doctor on Earth and talk to him, but, he can't give you any prescription medication, stitch up a wound, put a cast on a broken bone, perform surgery or anything like that!
Mars is much smaller than Earth. That means there will be less gravity. That will have an affect on your weight, the amount of pressure and stress on your Spine, how you walk and other things. Astronauts have no stress on their spine on the International Space Station. In fact, while their in space, their spine stretches out and the Astronauts are about an inch or two taller in space. After 6 months, they come back to Earth and the Earth's gravity pulls their spine down and puts stress on it again. That causes back pain.
There are a lot of dust storms up there. The wind blows the Red, Iron Oxide all around and it will be hard to see. The wind might even blow you around as well. You will be much lighter on Mars than on Earth.
(The surface of the planet is made up of Iron Oxide, which is basically rust from iron, just like on a car. That's what gives Mars it's red color.)
You'll have to wear a space suit everywhere you go. You might get a hole in your suit, which you can't just fix with duct tape. You could also run out of Oxygen or have problems with your O2 tank. Either one of those things: a hole in your suit or problems with your Oxygen, would be life threatening.
It is very cold and dusty up there on Mars. The atmosphere doesn't stop Metiors or harmful UV Ray's, Gamma Ray's, X Ray's, and other harmful things from space as well as the Earth's atmosphere does.
If your space ship breaks down, there's no one there to fix it and no way for it to be fixed. You would never make it back home to Earth.
I am sure you'd have to sign a waiver before you went to Mars, saying you know all the risks you're taking and if anything happens to you your family can't sue!
On the bright side, you would die famous. You would always be known as one of the first people to ever land on Mars. NASA would probably name a satellite after you, your birthday might become a national holiday, people would write books and movies about you and your name would be as famous as Neil Armstrong, Galileo, Stephen Hawking and Edwin Hubble.

Jupiter.

The Earth would fit inside Jupiter 1324 times! It may not appear to be that much bigger than Earth, but, the way someone described it to me was: Because of the mass of Jupiter, it would be like a balloon, the planet would stretch , just like a balloon. Just like a balloon stretching to hold more water or anything else you put in it, Jupiter would, THEORETICALLY, stretch whenever you put something inside of it. It would stretch out enough to where All the other planets, including Pluto, would fit inside of it!
The famous, Great Red Spot is about Three times bigger than Earth.
It is a large storm that's been going on for over 300 years. It is currently, slowly shrinking. It spins counterclockwise at about 225 MPH (360 KPH). It is comparable to a hurricane.
Jupiter would fit inside the Sun 9 times.
It has a faint ring system. Scientists did not know about the rings until the Voyager Spacecraft got there. Voyager showed the rings for the first time. The rings are too faint to be seen with a Telescope. In fact, I have a really powerful Telescope and I can't see the ring with it. University of Central Florida in Cocoa, FL has the second largest Telescope in the state of FL and they can't see it with that scope.
It has, as of now, 69 confirmed Moons. Probably, more to be found.
Looking through my Telescope, I can see the color bands on the planet and Six of it largest Moons.
Since, Galileo invented his own Telescope and looked at Jupiter, and discovered 4 of these same Moons (Io, Europa, Ganymede & Callisto), they are called: Galileo Moons. Those are Jupiter's largest moons. The rest are too small to see from Earth.
(Unfortunately, someone else invented the Telescope, just a short period of time before Galileo invented his telescope. So, he can't claim credit for inventing it.)
There are some very violent storms on Jupiter. Mostly inside the planet. Lightning on this planet is much more powerful than what we experience here on Earth. Scientists believe that it rains Diamonds inside of Jupiter. Because of the heat and pressure inside of the giant ball of Gas. But, they can't prove it.
The composition of the planet is mostly: Hydrogen, Helium and Ammonia. It's believed to have a rocky and metallic core.
Since the planet spins so fast, it completes one rotation in 9.8 Earth hours.
The rapid rotation causes Jupiter to bulge at the Equator. The diameter at the Equator is: 88,846 Miles (142,948 K).
The diameter at the poles is: 83,082 Miles (133,708 K). The Scientific name for this shape is: An Oblate Spheroid.
Jupiter is a Brown Dwarf. A failed star. Since it is made up of the same elements as most stars. However, it would have to be 75 times more massive to cause nuclear fusion of Hydrogen and turn into a star.
The color bands around Jupiter are created by strong 400 MPH (640 K) winds flowing East to West in the planets upper atmosphere.
Jupiter has a huge magnetic field, larger than any other planets. It is also the strongest magnetic field in our Solar System. It's almost 20,000 times strong than the one here on Earth! It is more than 1,000 times the lethal dose of radiation for a human. This magnetic field damages every spacecraft that goes near it, even if it is heavily shielded. The magnetic field extends out between 600,000 - 2 Million Miles (1 Million - 3 Million  K) towards the Sun and forms a tail which extends over 600 Million Miles (1 Billion K) behind the planet.
At it's furthest point from the Sun Jupiter is 507.04 Million Miles away.
When it's closest to the Sun it's 460.24 Million Miles away.
It orbits the Sun at a speed of 29,205 MPH. Completing one rotation around the Sun in 11.86 Earth years.
The distance from Jupiter to Saturn depends on where they are in orbit. When they are on the same side of the Sun and at their closest point, they are approximately 5 Astronomical Units (AU) away from each other.
When they are on opposite sides of the Sun, they are about 15 AU away from each other.
(One AU is the average distance between the Sun and Earth. 93 Million Miles or 149,668,992 K).
Depending on where the Earth and Jupiter are in their orbits, Jupiter is between 4.2 and 6.2 AU away from Earth.
We are lucky to have a planet the size of Jupiter in our Solar System, because, being so big, it has a lot of gravity. It attracts a lot of Metiors and other things to it. So, rather than hitting Earth or the other planets, a lot of them hit Jupiter instead.
Imagine what might have happened if Shoemaker-Levy would of hit Earth.
The SL comet had been captured by Jupiter's gravity about 20 or 30 years before it broke into several large pieces and hit Jupiter in July of 1994. The fragments of the comet got too close to the planet on July 16, 1994. The first impact created a fireball larger than Earth! A total of 21 impacts were observed over the next six days. The largest one created a dark spot more than 7,456 Miles (12,000 K) across. The explosion it created was 6 Million Megatons of TNT. That's 600 times the worlds entire known nuclear arsenal at that time, according to: www.americaspace.com.
A comet or meteor that size hitting Earth would quickly put an end to all life on Earth! In fact, most Scientists believe that it was a large meteor that crashed into Earth 65,000,000 years ago that killed off the Dinosaurs.
