      Most likely! Think how many stars there are in the universe – it’s a hug number – 1 with 24 zeros at the end of it! Some of those will probably have planets that could support life, and some of them life will evolve on. I think it’s highly improbable there aren’t aliens out there. However, it would take them ages to reach us!

      It’s probable, due to the massive size of the universe and huge number of stars there are… but that also means it could be likely that we never bump into them!

      So, yes it is possible.
