here's a thought, humans will probably never ever ever meet any other form of intelligent life. The only way I see feasible is developing some sort of space craft that can support a large population and is fit to house generation after generation whilst constantly travelling. But even this is borderline ridiculous as at the highest speed man has ever traveled it would take over 600000 years to reach the one of the nearest systems with potential life, Alpha Centauri. Even if we somehow managed to get these giant ships to approach light speed which would be interesting in itself it would still take years to get anywhere. And of course this would apply to any other life out there meaning they can't get to us any easier. I'd like to see some thoughts on this. Possible ways to travel this far and the chance of intelligent life actually existing out there in the vast universe. All views welcome I find it very interesting to see what others think
