There are about 200 billion stars in the Milky Way, an average sized galaxy.  Probably half to three quarters are orbited by rocky planets.

We can see about 200 billion galaxies.

Extraterrestrial life exists.

LOL no.  That's not proof.  That's what's known as an "opinion".  Extrapolating from a sample set of 1 to an entire universe, when there is absolutely no evidence whatsoever of life anywhere except earth, is not science, and it's not even math.

Full disclosure:  I believe life might exist elsewhere, but await some proof.  Or at least some evidence.  I suspect it will never arrive.

Aliens have not visited earth, ever.  Even if they exist, we are so far from their home planet that we could never, ever meet.  They would have to have a life span measured in thousands of millennia just to get here.  And, why?  So they can watch Dancing with the Stars?

Quoted:

Gods plan of redemption includes man because man is the object of God’s love, mercy, grace, holiness righteousness and justice. He only needs one race to prove Hemself.  God does not deal in redundancies. Another race would be redundant and purposeless. God created us for fellowship, in the end.

Where's the proof?

The SR-71 Blackbird was retired 21 years ago.

You don't retire something like that without having something superior replacing it.

Like classified tech is many decades ahead .

Sorry my money is on facebook, google, Tesla, and the 4th year Indian kid at MIT having better tech, than the 10-20 year development cycle of govt contractors.

By the time the government even gets a test vehicle in the air with a live pilot the tech is already 10 years old.

Looking through the F-22, debacle.  Again, these are physics limits, no doubt the govt has some souped up stealth tech or next gen black bird drone in a hanger somewhere, but its still based of the same tech we have today all around us. Even the blackbird, F-117 and B-2 utilized know tech that was in development for decades and was very well documented.

I am not arguing on secret projects, but the claim the govt has something operating that is completely outside the known functional understanding of the scientific community is a stretch.

If you want bleeding edge tech all you need to do is look at the public records.

The reality much like moore's law, we hit peak aviation limits in the 60's based on conventional systems.  Everything since than, has be shavings here in there based on better materials, and better fly by wire instrumentation. But the laws of physics remain the same. Just look at the fact that general aviation commercial aircraft look the same as they did 40 years ago.

If you claim that there is some super secret unconventional propulsion system that the government has developed, then you would need extraordinary evidence beyond grainy youtube videos of wheather ballons or little timmys drones.

Considering the billions of dollars spent on theoretical research annually in pursuit of  alternative propulsion systems, it would be an amazing act of secrecy if the government has managed to keep one secret for decades, and used it spook people in Arizona, and nudie pics of putin.

There are more governments, billionaires, scientists and industries in the world who would love to get a piece of next gen energy, then there are government contractors who can keep their mouths shut.

The facts are also extraordinary propulsion systems, like ant-matter drives, nuclear fusion drives,  generate large signatures and have exotic system requirements, and would be easy to spot and identify.

This is how far our radio transmissions have travelled into our Galaxy.  It is the blue dot.

This is a small glimpse into the Universe from Hubble.  It has been described as looking though your peephole in your front door to the edge of your porch.
There are Galaxies so far away the light may never reach us.
