Here is how Drake thought:

"In our own solar system there are several bodies 
that may be suitable for life of some sort: the Earth 
certainly, and perhaps Mars, Titan and Jupiter. Once 
life originates, it tends to be very adaptable and 
tenacious. There must be many different environments 
suitable for life in a given planetary system. But 
conservatively we choose ne=2."



Now,  Mars, Titan and Jupiter don't have a McDonald's....
so that means ne=2 is incorrect.

Throw The Drake Equation into the garbage can where it belongs. It's garbage!
