If it is just us... seems like an awful waste of space.
Read the book and thot Sagan had wimped out. Started watching the movie and it was OK, but couldn't get into it.
"waste of space"? Why? Comments like that imply that there is "something" at work.
I don't think there is "anything" at work.
It is what it is.
We're here. There may be others. At this time, we don't know.
It is possible, although I think it is improbable, that we are alone. I would like to think I will live to see "contact" but I don't think I will.
I think it will be a terribly hard thing for us to accept/accomodate, and I think it is entirely possible that it will really be "the end of life as we know it".
