NASA head Bolden: On my spaceflights I looked for aliens

Interesting interview with al Jazeera,
very last question.

www.youtube.com...

And no, he says he didn't see any.

A trained astronaut has seen no evidence of other life (aliens) in space.

For some reason, I suppose it could be irrational, I am not persuaded that it means much.

BTW - UFO call in topics are scheduled for Saturday night's ATS Live! show. Should you wish to discuss your views with us....

Am I supposed to look surprised? So what's new? You'll never see aliens for the simple reason that there are none partying around Earth!! What the heck would they be doing here on our mud ball in a nondescript Solar system at the edge of the Milky Way galaxy which is just a speck in a trillion trillion trillion galaxies in this huge universe?

How the heck would they be able to find mother Earth in all this is beyond comprehension!

Well said, even with the insanely low probability aliens are zooming about earth, the insanely low probability that they just happened to visit when humans inhabited it makes it even more unlikely. I believe aliens exist, i do not believe they have ever visited earth...but even if speculating they have, it is more probable that it was long before we were around.

If life is as abundant throughout the universe as many beleive why would you say think that aliens wouldn't find us? I've Seen articles that claim we've found 300 plus exoplanets. If just one of those planets has advanced life I would imagine that they would be capable of seeing us as well. And if they had the capability to traverse through space that they would come here if they saw our planet had life on it.

It's what we will do in the future so why would I not think it's not been done already? I was always told your not the first and you won't be the last.

This is good ... we can all go home now.

If any of them are within 58 light years of us they may just be following the source of the old "I love Lucy" broadcasts if they liked those!

Every single Astro/cosmonaut that has ever had the privilege of going up there into the deep black must.....MUST of looked out and wondered if anything else is out there. Even the most sceptical and narrow minded of them must of thought this even for a second, the fact that he never saw anything shouldnt be much of a surprise either
