Stargazing is a passion of mine, so questions of the universe are not unfamiliar to me. As a kid I always answered "no" because I looked up into the night sky and saw the stars - back then it was as simple as that. I still don't think we're alone.
I agree with TrombaGirl. The charm of this is its simplicity and optimism. We may take succor from knowing we are probably not alone in the universe. It may be a small consolation for some. Given the vast distances involved, we may as well be.
