  Hi Abi. Yes I do, but it might take a long time. Assuming that there is no other intelligent life in our own solar system (unlikely) then we need to look around other stars. The closest is over 4 light years away. So that’s too far to travel, but we could technically send a message and receive a reply in 8 years.
