Are there intelligent beings on other planets in our solar system? Most scientists do not think so. If there are, the
only likely place is Mars. It is fun to imagine our kind of humans on other worlds, but they would probably look so
different we might not recognize them as people at all. Living things have a wonderful way of adapting themselves to
conditions around in order to stay alive. Plants grow in the Arctic. Some simple animals can survive being boiled or
frozen. Creatures live in the blackest deeps of the sea under thousands of tons of pressure.

We can not really state that our kind of air is the only kind living things could breathe or that they must have water
or a certain climate, Creatures that breathed other gases or lived in other temperatures , however, certainly would not
look like us . Are these people anywhere else in the universe? Maybe there are. In our own galaxy, there are billions of
stars. Some must have planets with conditions like those on earth. Somewhere in space, there could be other thinking
beings. If their planets are older, they may know more than we do. They may be already traveling in space.
