  1. Agreed. We don't even know how to make life. Let alone life that can self replicate, AND survive any changes successfully. Who knows how long a singular life form kept forming, but couldn't reproduce. With that said I think simple life is definitely out there. Yet survival of the fittest as far as evolution pushing towards better and better organisms is a lie. Life is totally comfortable being simple, and reproducing successfully is good enough. In fact on Earth life was stagnant for a billion years. So it needs to start getting complex without getting wiped completely out. So the planet, and the the system needs to be stable for apparently a few billion years. It needs to have a metabolism that is better to create something intelligent. Like switching to oxygen. It literally takes life it seems to then take the stable planet, and produce enough chemicals into the atmosphere to support said complex organisms. Then that more complex, nd then intelligent life needs to not be so superior as to not wipe itsself out. I feel like I am missing points. Yet it is totally plausible we are the first intelligent life or that there are only a literal handful of intelligent organisms out there.

  2. That is just nonsense. NASA, and contractors aren't robots. Nor are they a collection of supertrained Delta Force super spies. NASA, and the contractors who run programs are full of regular people who love science. Many don't exactly care for the government either. They are civilians. Civilians that aren't always on the same page with each other nor the government. It is hard enough to keep military secrets from gamers. Let alone new life from everyone. That would be the biggest secret in history. Basically short of having wormholes to hell for infinite power at risk of invasion, or some insane thing like that. Imagine what someone rich would be willing to pay for proof of that?
