James Michener’s book “SPACE “ concluded with just this question.
The last chapter of the book is worth reading. Apparently this question about extra terrestrial intelligent life was posited by the scientific method, based on our own life.
1) how long it took for intelligent life on earth to come about.
2) how old our planet is.
3) how old is our galaxy
4) how many type of class M planets are
there.
5) how many class M planets have there
ever likely to have existed.
6) the likelihood that other intelligent life would not have k**led them selves or simply died out (due to asteroid impact, desease, war, home sun going nova, etc,)
There was more to it all in the book but I believe that the conclusion was that the likelihood of intelligent life in our galaxy stated that there are possibly 13.
This was done by NASA scientists.
I would recommend the book, though it’s a bit of a long read, as so many of his books are. But well worth it.
