The next Drake random variable is the number
ne of ‘‘Earth-type’’ planets in a given star system. Taking
example from the Solar System, since only the Earth is
truly ‘‘Earth-type’’, the mean value of
ne is clearly 1, but the standard deviation is not zero if we assume that Mars
also may be regarded as Earth-type. Since there are thus
two Earth-type planets in the Solar System, we must
assume a standard deviation of 1 =2 Earth and Mars.



Now, does anybody here think Mars is "ecologically suitable for life"?



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


Trash.
