Sometimes I think the surest sign that intelligent life exists elsewhere in the universe is that none of it has tried to contact us**

The Hubble has been up or out there for two decades. That shows just how well engineered it is.

Space n such is like totally incomprehendable. I can't get my mind round how big it must be and how much stuff is out there. Its a weird feeling.

That really is impressive. Some of the pictures that have been taken raise so many questions.

However, it was made 20 years ago. Is there anything that has surpassed this since?
