>The universe is vast, containing myriads of stars ... likely to have planets circling around them. ...

These highly exceptional and talented people could hardly overlook such a beautiful place as our Earth. – "And so," Fermi came to his overwhelming question, "if all this has been happening, they should have arrived here by now, so where are they?"
