Sorry Aliens.....
I deal in facts, things you can prove, not hearsay.


The image is the Pale Blue Dot, it is from 6,000,000 miles away.
A light year is 6,000,000,000,000 miles.
Is there intelligent life out there, well I would have thought so, but can they cross the interstellar distances, well maybe not.

Why would they visit, how could the even know we were here, assuming our radio signals (which travel at the speed of light) can be detected far into space, where they get weaker, we could have passed 4000 stars by now. Hardly a lot in terms of space.

Still who knows, maybe Zaphod is at a party in isslington
