      Nobody can say for sure, but the probability of human life as we know it is so incredibly unlikely that it is probably not widespread across the universe

      I hope not, it would be wierd to think that in such a vast ammount of time and space that we are the only planet with life. I think there will be planets with other types of life on them but the living things could be very different to people, animals microbes and plants as we know them. This is because planets are so different in terms of the atmosphere and chemical make-up so the life on other planets would have to be specialised to live in a very different environment to us.
