The success of Hollywood blockbusters like ET, M.I.B. (Men In Black) and Independence Day shows our fascination (or maybe obsession) with the possibility of intelligent life beyond Earth. Perhaps it's our natural curiosity toward the unknown or our quest to find purpose beyond the confines of our planet. Whatever it maybe... We love aliens. Kids love aliens :)
