Answer 1:
We know that there is life on Earth (like
us!) and there are billions of stars in our
galaxy, each with their own planets that might
have life. As scientists, we like to know why
things happen. It turns out that the Earth is
just the right distance from the Sun to have
water, which is essential for life. Venus is too
hot to have water because it is too close to the
Sun. Mars only has ice, because it is too far
away from the Sun. Cosmologists (scientists who
study Space) have already found dozens of
planets that are just the right distance from
their stars to have water, and each of those
might have its own life like Earth!
Unfortunately, space is HUGE, and so we can’t go
visit yet.

Answer 3:
There are people who live in the
international space station, which orbits around
the Earth and is technically in space! But will
it ever become something that a large percent of
the human population does? I think that will
depend on a lot of things, and we'll have to see
what happens.
