For years, humans have looked up to the stars, wondering what is in space. As time passed and science evolved, the human race discovered many wondrous objects in space. Space has, for some, become a land of fantasy and storytelling. This has led some people to come up with conspiracy theories about space and extraterrestrial life that are absolutely absurd. One of the most interesting theories is that President Obama was teleported into space in the 1980s as part of an elite team that was trying to make contact with aliens. Another theory is that NASA’s missions to the satellites of Jupiter were simply a ploy because, in reality, they were attempting to turn Jupiter into a second sun. While the majority of these theories are ridiculous, some make quite a bit of sense when supported with scientific evidence. The most well known theory in regards to space is that life exists on planets beyond the Earth’s atmosphere. When it comes down to it, the probability of extraterrestrial life is more a probability than a possibility. All life as humans know it is created through six elements: Carbon, Oxygen, Hydrogen, Nitrogen, Sulfur, and Phosphorous. These elements are found throughout the solar system and universe.

If extraterrestrial life is not composed of carbon, then two facts are known. One is that we are searching in the wrong places and planets for life because the main focus for the search of extraterrestrial life is on planets that are similar to Earth. The other is that if we made direct contact with the species we would most likely contract a disease and die because our immune system would not have the same D.N.A as the
