I'm confident enough to say I believe with 100% certainty that there has been and definitely will be life in the universe outside Earth, on what scale though, nobody knows.
The mere facts of how our planet formed and how we evolved are evidence enough for me.
Sci-fi and space/the possibility of life, and alien films/games are the most fascinating subjects for me in life, I enjoy reading new articles published in the science/space communities about new research, new theories.
I can't begin to explain how fascinated I am about Breakthrough Starshot:
I've been on/off writing a sci-fi, space/alien themed story for many years, it's based on a few interesting things:
The old gods - Zeus(the captain), and others Ares, Apollo, Hades, Poseidon, Athena, Aphrodite, Hera etc.
It's based on an idea when I read an article saying the 1st humans who could possibly live to be over 1000 years old are being born in this century, with anti aging techniques.
So I combined those ideas, the basic plot is, the old gods really did exist, they were from another galaxy many light-years away(I can't say far far away lol).
While scouting our solar system they suffered a disaster and had to crash land on our planet, and with their advanced technology and anti-aging techniques living for thousands of years(genetic enhancements etc), they were worshipped as gods, and it ties in with a lot of real history we know today in reality outside of the story.
I won't really say more about it yet, but every now and again I get inspiration to write more.

So anyone who says this is boring, whoop-dee-f@#!ing-doo
