Another Astronaut Reveals Belief in Space Aliens

Leroy Chiao spoke this
week to students at the University of Wollongong in New South Wales,
Australia, and had this to say:
"I think there’s all kinds of life out there, including intelligent life,
but the reason we haven’t found each other is because of vast distances."
“Two possibilities exist: either we are alone in the Universe or we are not.
Both are equally terrifying.”
Arthur C. Clarke
“The idea that we are alone in the universe seems to me completely implausible
and arrogant, considering the number of planets and stars that we know exist,
it’s extremely unlikely that we are the only form of evolved life.”
Stephen Hawking
Saying that, mathematically speaking, it stands to reason that there is other
life out there, somewhere, is not the same as a "Belief in Space Aliens".

I believe in evidence. I believe in observation, measurement, and reasoning,
confirmed by independent observers. I'll believe anything, no matter how wild
and ridiculous, if there is evidence for it. The wilder and more ridiculous
something is, however, the firmer and more solid the evidence will have to be.
