I don’t think most people understand the gravity of this situation.

I have no doubt there are many, many trillions of planets orbiting star systems all over the universe..I also have no doubt a good percentage of those will harbor some type of life.

Anyone know what the most realistic Drake equation predicts?

"...some could be of a similar temperature (and therefore habitable) if they’re orbiting a cool star called a red dwarf."
"Habitable" only comes when there is oxygen in the atmosphere, lots of clean water, temperatures that remain as stable as that of this good earth, and plants capable of sustaining animal life, as well as humans.
My bet - there is no other place like this place.

I remember Carl Sagan said the same thing in 1980’s “Cosmos” as he demonstrated the Frank Drake Equation that was developed at Green Bank in the 1950’s. BTW, I did a little research and there was a time in 1942 when an astronomer thought he might have discovered an extra-solar planet by seeing how something was tugging at the star he was observing.

A hundred billion planets in our galaxy and we are stuck here on the one with Zero.

It should be noted that hot a single one of the exoplanets discovered is even close to being habitable.

I suppose it is possible that there may be some form of simple life on a few of those planets, but my bet is, none of them harbor any kind of advanced, intelligent life (i.e. life capable of even simple, basic technology).
