I'm all for exploration and checking things out, but I don't get the "the universe is so big, there MUST be other civilizations out there" thing. If absolutely true (and I lean towards "yeah, probably"), so what? There's no technology even imaginable at present that will take humans to another inhabited planet in a human lifespan (or 2 or 3 or a bunch). If we can't visit them or even trade radio signals within a lifetime, what difference does it make if they're there or not?

The thing is everybody only looks at half the argument when saying "do you really think there isn't life in the huge universe".
Sure there are tons if stars and planets, but what are the odds of the building blocks of life being placed in the same place in the right order under the proper conditions without some cosmic disaster fricking everything up.
We also would have to agree on what we are talking about when we say "life", what are we looking for. I am sure life exists in the form of simple organisms somewhere out there, I think intelligent probably not 40/60
