Man in Space 50th Anniversary

Google is marking the 50th anniversary Yuri Gagarin's journey as the first man in space with a new header:



Of course, today the concept of Man in Space isn't really surprising. But I'm sure we're all well aware of how much of an impact it made back in the day. Before, our reality only existed within this planet, but to explore the cosmos was inconceivable.

However, even nowadays the thought of space is intriguing. Earth is really just a miniscule figure in the universe, and now the possiblity of something even larger than the universe becomes much more real.

Is there life on Mars or in other planets? If so, what exactly are they? Are they just like creatures scurrying about, or are they like humans with the ability rationalize and conceptualize ideas?

Life as we know it would definitely change if life outside of earth was discovered and proven. Maybe a network of intergalatic trade would be developed, linking non-Earthlings with us humans.

If they do come to Earth, then I hope, as cliche as it may sound, that they come in peace. Who knows who long we'll have to live peacefully and unperturbed by beings that do not exactly fall within our Kingdoms, Phylums, Classes, Orders, Families, Genuses, and Species?
