Yes the reality of it is amazing. That's why the Fermi Paradox is ridiculous. Could you imagine being so egocentric as to believe there is no other intelligent life, because they haven't visited your planet? Or the whole anthropomorphising of every idea of Aliens. The only reason I hope they are very similar to us, is that we get annihilated when we gain the tech to colonise other systems within our galaxy. Get wrekt.
