Tamara Said:

Ok lets be real about human deep space missions to other solar systems in the future?

We Answered:

I have major issues with some of your question's basic content and premise --- but --- that, not withstanding ---
Yes, there have been and will always be those among us
that are ready, willing, and able to launch into the unknown
with impunity !! Just because any one of US can not get OUR minds or concepts around a matter such as this -- is definitely not a deterent in the least to those who WOULD BOLDLY GO where no person has ever been !!! Such is the stuff of the entire human history !!! Check it out !!!

Ruth Said:

Since we are made of stardust, what were the first solar systems made of?

We Answered:

The first matter in the Universe was 75% hydrogen and 25% helium, by mass, so that's what the first stars were made of. When those first stars died, the heavier elements fused in their cores became available to collapse into second generation stars and possibly planets. So the first solar systems would have contained a lower percentage of those heavier elements than later generations, but the elements were the same.

Lillian Said:

Is the stars we see on the night sky have their own solar systems if possible?

We Answered:

Well, there is no proof that there is other life out there in the cosmos, but due to all we have discovered and observed, the chances are pretty high for at least one other intelligent race being out there. Some predict around 30000 in the Milky Way Galaxy (ours) and if there are billions of other galaxies out there, well, you can decide.

We have observed planets orbiting other stars, so we know there are other star/planetary systems. There is only one Solar System, as it is named after our Star/Sun, Sol.

We need proof because that is what scientist are looking for. We want to know for sure about as much as possible, otherwise, everything becomes possiblities, theories, and conjecture.

People debate aliens for a number of reasons. Right now, human beings are the only known intelligent life forms in the Universe. . . that is, known to us. This galaxy ALONE has somewhere between 400 and 600 BILLION stars. Most of them we have not seen because wen can only observe what is in our line of sight. We have seen billions of galaxies in the Universe, and again, those are the ones in our line of sight. Truely amazing eh? We must keep asking questions and keep getting answers. This type of activity helps drive our technology and understanding of even our own world.

EDIT:
The Fermi Paradox is the argument of a childish person whom can not stand to lose an argument. Anyone that understands a little bit of what we know will realize that it make take a LONG time for us to notice signs of other civilizations. For example, in a galaxy consisting of hundreds of billions of stars, there are estimated to be around 30000 intelligent life forms. No one said advanced. This means that they can be as technology advanced as we are now, or less (such as the bronze age) or more advanced. It all depends on when they developed and how. If the Earth is typical (a condition used in the Fermi Paradox) then the chances of us noticing anything in the ultra-vast galaxy (and even greater size, the universe) are extremely slim. It is not like all of these stars around us are on our doorstep. They're no where near us. Even the closest star, Proxima Centauri (4 ly away), is not exactly "close" to us. Although, if a civilization was there, we possibly would have noticed by now if they were sending out radio waves, but there isn't even a known planet there that can sustain life, so that one is out of the question.

This is a hit or miss issue, and you are going to get mostly misses. There are way too many stars out there, some we can see and others we can not. And the ones we can see is going to take a lot of work to determine even if the star system can support any kind of life, and if it can, how do we start searching for it. . . all the way from here.
