On Sunday, September 20, 2015 this dream turned into reality when I went on my first hike to Mt. Rainier. Indeed, I felt a sense of triumph reaching the place where I never thought I could with fatigue and stress of knowing that I have to get back over the same rough trail.

Is it that life has developed on various exoplanets but we just haven't been listening for long enough? To be fair we have only been listening for 60 years. We define toy have the telescopic power to identify intelligent extraterrestrial life. There are billions of exoplanets that could potentially foster life. Highly intelligent aliens might not want to visit us because we are un intriguing. It is probably like searching for a grain of sand in a desert. But it could be as simple as finding the one planet in every solar system. We have spectacular telescopes like Kepler
