The question of whether or not we are alone in the galaxy W1 is one that has interested everyone. From Superman to E. T．， films have brought aliens W2 to Earth as friends or enemies but, as yet, no one has proved they have ever seen an alien apart from P1 on film or TV.

In 1960, a radio telescope was pointed out into space to listen for signs of aliens, trying to add scientific fact to P2 the question “is anybody out there”. 3

But 50 years on, nobody knows the answer to it.

“It's probably the most important question there is，” says Dr. Frank Drake, who was a pioneer of radio astronomy. “What does it mean to be a human being? What is our future? Are there other creatures like us? What have they become? What can evolution W3 produce? How far can it go? It will all come out of learning of aliens and this will certainly enrich our lives like nothing else could.”

“We should be prepared for P3 aliens，” says professor of space science John Zarnecki, from the Open University. Stephen Hawking says aliens almost certainly exist and senior astronomer Seth Shostak almost ignored the possibility that there's nothing to search for P4.

But if there are aliens then the question is why we haven't got any firm evidence of their existence. This was a question asked by the physicist Enrico Fermi as far back as 1950, saying “where is everybody”．But Dr. Drake has a more simple answer to why life hasn't been found: “We just haven't tried enough，” he says. “We've looked carefully at only a few thousand stars and very few channels and that's hardly even a start. There may be around 10,000 civilisations W4 we can discover in the galaxy. That's one in 10,000,000 stars. Before we have a good chance of succeeding, we still have a long way to go.”
