Unless I'm missing something, the chances of intelligent alien life seem pretty good. The next question is: How do we summon them to Earth to bring space communism and/or anal probing?

    My take: Aliens definitely exist, but the distances between planets are so vast that it simply doesn't make sense for them to travel beyond their own solar system, and even if they are the chances that they've traveled close enough to us for us to detect their presence is infinitesimally small.

    Maybe it's something we won't fully understand until we have our own FALGSC and know exactly what it will cost, how long it will take, and how low the chances of success are for our own attempts to go elsewhere in the galaxy.
