Life on other planets

mcgill1 @mcgill1 (49) 19 Feb 08

We are a small planet living on the edge of the Milky Way Galaxy. To get from one end of our Galaxy to the other would take around 200,000 light years, travelling at 180,000 miles a second the speed of light. Do you believe that...

Who will you vote for ?, and why ?
