“We are also going to have to face facts. We are alone in this universe...”

Space is really, really big and we are really, really small. I believe we are "alone" in our "stellar neighborhood" but that there is life in abundance in the galaxy/universe, it's just that the distances are so great that the odds of meeting another race are just immense.

I believe we are stuck on this planet, we might put up some small science bases on Mars, maybe something on the a couple of the moons of Jupiter and/or Saturn...but until we get some kind of warp drive, we are stuck on this planet and we need to start figuring out how to live here without killing each other or the future is going to be a miserable place to live.

it's just that the distances are so great that the odds of meeting another race are just immense.

And there is a reason.

we need to start figuring out how to live here without killing each other or the future is going to be a miserable place to live.

That's the reason.
