The head of Roscosmos, Dmitry Rogozin, said that there are no facts of the existence of humanoid aliens, but various forms of life can exist in the Universe.
"I don't have any facts to believe in it. But, if we talk about my personal beliefs, I believe that the universe is infinite both in time and in space, so the chance of the existence of life in the universe can be infinite, " he said in an interview with the newspaper Gazeta.<url> " published on August 29.
Alien life, he said, may not necessarily be humanoid. So, the head of the state corporation admitted that its form can be both living beings, and cells, and viruses, and plants.
"This question excites our minds and, I think, will continue to excite until we find this intelligent life," Rogozin said.
He stressed that the Russian-European ExoMars program is engaged in the search for alien life.
In June, the new head of NASA, Bill Nelson, expressed confidence that reports of unidentified flying objects (UFOs) require serious study. Nelson said that several years ago, as a member of the US Senate Committee on the Armed Forces, he had access to reports of military pilots who recorded such phenomena. He also held personal conversations with them.
On May 21, the existence of aliens was allowed by the head of Tesla and SpaceX, Elon Musk. He noted the importance of developing interaction between humans and artificial intelligence in order to "expand the boundaries of consciousness."
