This is mind blowing and amazing zoom out of the sharpest view of the Andromeda Galaxy ever, showing more than 100 million stars. Imagine if there is a only 0.00000001% chance of life that means there must be at least 100 civilizations in andromeda galaxy. I wonder what currency would they be using?

.
Kidding aside, I posit that there are no civilizations anywhere beside here or they are so far away as to be not reachable in a reasonable time frame even at the light speed.
WE have to spread out-it is our new Manifest destiny. In 10-100 mil years we will be everywhere (at least in our supercluster), hopefully.
