hehe. I totally believe in there being life on other planets. How ironic would it be if there are infinite numbers of planets out there (more than we can count) but earth is the only one that can host life?

Wow. That's hot.

I know, mountainking, all this space seems like a huge waste just for US. Why waste the beauty and magnificence on US.

The entire universe is mind boggling... I remember a few years back, hearing about a discovery of a giant planet... 1000x the size of Jupiter... not a gas planet like Jupiter either. Mind boggling to think of the size... and even worse to think that if you were to try and stand on it.. you would be crushed like a bug as the gravitational pull is considerably stronger than that of Jupiter which we already couldn't handle.
