Do you think non-human life forms will ever be discovered on other planets?

Probably, but we're still a long way away from developing that kind of technology. It wouldn't be even close to this lifetime!

It would be extreme arrogance to think that other life doesn't exist somewhere, out there. Whether we will ever connect with it? It is for the future to say.

I think so. I don't know if that will be anywhere near as interesting as they're hoping it will be, though. Whatever they find, I just hope it's neutral or good and that the humans who find it can use good judgement.

I would like to think there could be some life-form on other planets. I don't know if, in my lifetime, science and man will get that far. But I'd like to think there is.

I think if given enough time and the proper searching, I think it's very possible. I don't see why we have to be the only ones here. Since there is infinate space, I don't see why not.

Yes.

I hope so, there haven't been any really good ultra cheesy sci fi horror films in a while...Gerbils from Mars, that'd be scary.

Like that fossilized bacterium they already found on Mars, you mean?

Yes, of course. Probably not in this solar system though. There's absolutely no reason to believe that ours is the only life form in the entire universe.

Reba, 51

Yes I do believe there are other forms of life on the planets. Why I believe this I really don't know. But if we can have life on our planet why should we not believe there could not be life on the other planets.

Marci, 56

Yes. I think it'd be ignorant to assume that life will only develop on earth. However, I don't think life will be discovered on any of the planets in our solar system.

I think we might discover life on other planets in my lifetime, but I don't think it will be other sentient beings with whom we'll be able to communicate. We might find alien larvae or something but Isuspect that'll be all I'll get to see. Perhaps someday we'll meet other intelligent races.

I sure hope so. Truthfully, I think Aliens are our friends, not our enemies. They would be here to help us, to keep us from destroying ourselves. Of course, if I were them, I would stay on their own planets, becuase why would they want to hang around here. They are probably happy in their own worlds, but like the X-files says, the truth is out there.

Hi,
I cannot believe that anyone would take that question seriously. But considering that the majority of people taking part in this survey are from America, I suppose this might seem serious enough for those people. I do not believe that there are non-human life forms, because we would have found them during our many years of space travel. Yes, there might be sightings of "ufo's" in the night, but how reliable are these sources? They are just after there 15 minutes of fame just like every other person in this world and making up a story like that about Roswell is there chance. So, all you Americans make up all the stories you want about funny little green men - because without American's the world would have nothing to laugh at.

Brad, 20

Yes. Whether they will be of human intelligence, I do not know. But, I am sure there is life of some kind out there somewhere.

Deb

Weren't some living organisms already discovered? I don't think there are martians or anything,but sure, there can be other life forms...we're narrow minded to think we are the only life in the galaxy.

Angela, 16

Why not?

Nonhuman life forms have already discovered you, you lowly earthlings.

Talia, 23

What do you mean by life forms? I'm sure there's plants and stuff, but I don't think we'll ever discover aliens or anything.

Jennifer, 19

yup

Tracy, 24

Definitely. The chances of us being the only life out there are incredibly minute when one considers the vast size of space beyond us...

Johanna, 18

possibly. One million Art Bell fans can't be wrong.

Jaden, 21

Actually, I think they already have been discovered, but most people just don't know about it. Not that there are actually "intelligent" non-human life forms, but I think life has been discovered on other planets. . . even if it is as small as bacteria or something.
