I was disappointed to find the Cydonia face was after all just a rock formation enhanced by shaded area.

Do I believe in life out there ?

I've agreed with Dr Carl Sagans comment about that - "if we are the only intelligent life in the universe, its a hell of a waste of space"

So yes I do, statistically it is a certainty.

Will we ever meet intelligent extra terrestrial life in my lifetime ?

No, unless they come a calling and manage not to crash in some deserted backwater - (again ? ).

Until we have the technical capacity to make proper inroads into space and leave our solar system I think its pretty much certain that we will never discover other lifeforms, why should they come to us, it would be the equivalent of NASA sending a manned space flight to see monkeys in Africa.

Considering the nature of the human animal, to make war on each other and consume our world with no thought for its future - maybe we shouldn't inflict ourselves on any other species or anywhere else we can rape for materials without any due consideration or care for its future .
