Asimov here covers many fascinating aspects in his analysis of the universe - Interstellar Flight, The Origin of Life, Messages to Outer Space, Space Exploration, The Solar System - and gradually reaches his conclusions that are as convincing as they are fantastic.

The fact is, we are not alone - it's just a matter of time before we communicate with the nearest civilizations which undoubtedly exist
