"We're just at the beginning of our search," says Drake, who reckons that there are some 10,000 high-tech worlds scattered among the Milky Way's 100 billion or more stars. That's a much more modest figure than the late Carl Sagan's estimate of 1 million intelligent civilizations in just our galaxy--one of perhaps 100 billion galaxies scattered through the universe...
