      Yes, there are definitely aliens of some sort in the Universe. There are tens of thousands of Earth-like planets, at least, so it’s very very unlikely that life started only here.

      Yes, it is very unlikely that the only life in the universe is on Earth – so it is very likely that there is also life somewhere else. We can’t really give a good estimate of the probabilities, but I would definitely bet on it.

      Yes although I don’t think there are any in our solar system. But the universe is big, very big indeed – there’s almost definitely more life out there somewhere.

      I would bet that there is life out there, of course it’s probably not going to look like a human in a rubber mask like they all do on Dr Who.
