 The Drake Equation
 CM>> N=R(fp)(ncfl)(fi)(fc)L
 CM>> R - Rate of star formation
 PF> Not yet known.
 CM>> fp- Fraction of stars with planets
 PF> Completely unknown.
 CM>> fc- life that will develop high technology
 PF> Guess.
 CM>> L - Longevity (live long enough to admit signals to be
 CM>> detected)
There was a little more involved than just guess work, go to
www.seti-inst.edu/drake-eq.html for a further explanation of how some
for these fractions were based on.
 PF> Does that include the disappearing one of 51PEG? Of the
 PF> planets deduced (none has been found yet), most of them almost
I believe on a link to the above page there is evidence of the planets
that have been found.
 PF> same face to the sun. One side is super hot and dry and the other
 PF> frozen and dry. Nobody can say these are not typical and our solar
 PF> system is the typical system. Ours might be unique.
Well I don't or to that fact no one has absolute proof of any life on
another planet.  But it is safe to assume that it has to exist on some
other planet in the millions of galaxies out there.  Now whether or
not we have been visited by any other than meteorites and or comets is
another matter.
