      Yes! Well, we don’t know for sure, but life is clearly possible (we’re here!) and the universe is really freaking big, so it should exist somewhere else.

      Yep I reckon! I don’t think life could live alone out there in the vacuum that is space, because life needs an environment to live in! So it’d have to be on planets, which is why scientists are trying to find interesting planets to learn about right now!

      Maybe when our technology improves too we can build great big spaceships and live on them. There’s already research into how to create sustainable environments that can feed people, produce enough oxygen etc.

      But planets are a big help too – there are lots of new ones being found, and some of them look like they could be habitable too!
