      There is a strong chance that on at least one of the millions and millions of other planets there is another type of life. Unfortunately it may take a long time to communicate with them – know they exist. And probably they will look very different from what we expected – not green with eyes on stalks.. In fact they may just be a type of bacteria. Not that exciting but look at evolution here on earth to see how that can evolve.

      As for Mars – we can see enough to know that there is no obvious life. But perhaps there could have been in the past. Or there could be some microscopic life. One aim is to find out if there was ever any water there – a good starting point for finding out about life.

      I’m pretty sure my sister is an alien as she is nothing like me!

      But seriously i think the odds of their being no other life in any universe is very low, just based on probability. however whether we will ever meet them is a totally different question… but i dont think so in our lifetime! But that’s why we need scientist to try find out!
