OMNIpotusCOM writes "Noted astrophysicist Stephen Hawking thinks that alien life is likely, albeit primitive, according to a lecture delivered at George Washington University in honor of NASA's 50th anniversary.

That makes so much more sense. Actually, it does. Well, it doesn't actually make sense, but it makes more sense.
