      I completely believe there must be some sort of life on another planet – even if we don’t recognise it as life because it’s so different from anything we’ve ever experienced or imagined before.

      I have wondered, and I have hoped. Have you ever seen the movie ‘Contact’? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Contact_(filmhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Contact_(film)

      When I was young I loved that movie. They said that if there wasn’t life somewhere else, that would be ‘an awful waste of space’. I loved that! I think life could definitely be possible on other planets… even if its only bacteria! The planetary conditions that support life, however, are rather rare among the planets, which is why Earth is so special! The temperature of our planet, the presence of liquid water, our concentrations of oxygen and other trace gases, and other conditions make life particularly favorable.

      I am pretty sure there must be life on other planets but I doubt we will ever know.

      I think there must be life on other planets. It may not be life as we expect and portray, but I think it exists.
