We Should Look For Extra Terrestrial Life
I think that we should look for extra terrestrial life, it would be extremely ignorant not too. We cannot believe that we are the only life forms in the universe. The chances are astronomical

It would be interesting to look for them and if we do then it'll shut some skeptics up. And it doesn't necessarily be more intelligent then us.

I really think that we should expand our knowledge as humans in everything we do. I think looking for extra terrestrial life would only expand our knowlege of earths surroundings.

I think we should look, not dedicate billions into it but we should definitely have a look. I don't know if were find intelligent life but I'm sure there is some form of life out there. If there is intelligent life out there I think they would have found us first and after close observation decided to fly far, far away.

It should be on the bottom of the list, but on the list all the same... Maybe even like top on the list of things that should eventually be on the list... Not to mention scientists don't look in space for intelligent life as much as they look for any signs of biology besides rock-n-dirt...

Yes, and when we find it we should enslave the aliens to make up for the millions of dollars we would have spent searching for extraterrestrial life.

Calling occupants of interplanetary craft. Why not?

I checked under my couch. No luck yet although there was a promising looking mold. Seriously though I think it is valuable, as much for the things we are likely to figure out on the way as for any hope of success.

Might as well. Nothing worthwhile down here on earth worth knowing about. Nothing to loo for nothing to find.
By all means, be my guest - outer space all the way. ;-)

Sure, we should look. I don't think it's a top budget issue, nor that all our top scientists should be on the task, but there's no harm to looking.

 If there is terrestrial "intelligent life" out there, i'm sure they will find us before we do, and be wise enough to stay away from us.

There must be life out there however it impossible for us to look for it well unless you have a super telescope that can see up to millions of light years away then we cant :( its unfortunate, however there maybe a way i don't know

Life is definitely out there--the universe is so huge that it's impossible to deny this--but we would never find it even if we spent the trillions of dollars to do it. There's only so far we humans can go into outer space, and life is way beyond our outer limits.

There is extra terrestrial life out there, but i don't think we should be active looking for them.

And how do you propose we do so?

I would rather the governments of the world and NASA be upfront with the people and share what they already know.

Why should we sink BILLIONS of dollars into looking into extra terrestrial life when 1.) we are already trillions of dollars in debt 2.) there is no evidence to suggest life to look for 3.) there are so many other things that we can spend are money on that are better ie: Education, national security, improving bad living conditions, developing and researching sciences and medicines for cures to dieases, and even feeding and homing the homeless. Yes, the chances of there being extra terrestrial life is astronomical--but the reason the chances are so high is because space is so vast. The chances of us FINDING extra terrestrial life is astronomical in itself. There are much more productive ways to serve society using the money we would. Besides, how do you think a discovery of extra terrestrial life would benefit society? How would it change it for the better? It wouldn't. We've already wasted enough money on other pointless things, we really don't need this.

Heres a thought, I mean, theory: Unproven concept:

Maybe....we ARE extraterrestrials, I mean, if we weren't? Then why are human beings so obsessed with outer space, to the point where we spent gazillions of dollars to explore Mars and cr@p, while half the planet of humans is starving to death we could use that space-exploration money to feed them elimininate suffering with?

Maybe, we are driven to explore outer-space, because that is where we origininated from.

That is one theory.
