Look for life on this planet first

Issue date: 5/9/07 Section: Opinion
Trying to prove the existence of aliens is like trying to prove the existence of unicorns or mermaids. Searching the galaxy for life is useless.
The question here is whether or not there is life on other planets.
Sure, there has got to be life on a planet outside of our solar system, but it's probably a life form useless to humanity. Science fiction drives people to believe that there's got to be something out there that will help explain our life on Earth when in reality we should be searching our own planet for the answers. Honestly, scientists are still discovering life forms on earth that they've never recorded.
Seriously, I want them to find a mermaid before they find an alien that could possibly wreak havoc on our world as we know it.
It's all based on hypothetical speculation and theories. People shouldn't waste time and money on speculation of life on other planets that we, as human beings, couldn't even reach. The stars are endless.
