So I was bored the other day and was mindlessly looking around wikipedia when I came across the Hubble Ultra Deep field page. It has this well known image.

There is an estimated 10,000 galaxies in this tiny tiny section of the universe. Each galaxy containing billions of stars.
Then there is the recent discovery of amino acids (the building blocks of proteins, life) in interstellar dust clouds. The same fragile foundation for all life on earth managed to form in the cold vacuum of space.
Which brings me to my point, how can there not be life on another planet somewhere in the galaxy, if not the rest of the universe. I would be astounded if there was no other life in the universe.
