Agreed life is likely out there but for some reason it's very difficult to find. If it was abundant, we should have found some indications of life elsewhere.
That's one of the main missions of Perseverance: to continue looking for life.
https://mars.nasa.gov/mars-explorati...ions/mars2020/
The mission addresses high-priority science goals for Mars exploration, including key questions about the potential for life on Mars. Perseverance takes the next step by not only seeking signs of habitable conditions on Mars in the ancient past, but also searching for signs of past microbial life itself.

your a moron dutch a real moron you know that. we have not ventured past them moon with a manned space mission. the nearest star to us that could have life is over 4 light years away and there are billions of stars alone in the milky way and billions of galaxy's in the universe .We can only see a bit over 13 billion light years away . No one reallyu knows how big the universe is.
Your assuming that intelligent life uses the same method of communication as we do it could take billions of years for a civilization to even receive a message from up or send one to use even if we used the same forms of communication.
Other civilizations capable of it could of died off billions of years ago or still be developing to reach that level..
we have only had the ability to send radio waves into space for a blink of a eye time wise .
you seem to have comprehension of the time and distances and technology involved , typical democrat.
A good insight, but to be fair, we have only looked for life in an infinitesimally small part of the galaxy: one planet besides earth in our solar system, and SETI has only looked at the electromagnetic radio wave signatures of only fraction of nearby star systems. There are hundreds of billions of star systems in the milky way, and hundreds of trillions of stars in the observable universe.
That does not even rank as high as a needle in a haystack.

Agreed. Weren't we were agreeing that the math is based on guesses?
If you find a single weed in your yard, it's a pretty good fucking guess you have more. If you never have weeds in your yard. Ever. No matter how hard you search, by what logic do you deduce the neighbor has weeds? Did you see them? Do the math.

I think your analogy is poorly thought out at best.
Here on planet Earth scientists have found life just about everywhere. Scientists use these life forms to to clean up wastes, manufacture of foods, beverages, medicines. There are even bacteria that consume hazardous materials such as spilled petroleum n soils and groundwater. In my studies and career I've come to the conclusion that if there is a source of energy, then there will be a life form to consume it.
