\section*{Counting Civilizations}
In order to estimate the number of technological civilizations that might exist among the stars, in 1961 Frank Drake proposed the following simple equation
$N = R \times f_p \times n_e \times f_l \times f_i \times f_c \times L$
\begin{itemize}
\item $N$ is the number of civilizations in the Milky Way Galaxy with whom we could make contact.
\item $R$ is the rate of star formation, which tells how many stars are born every year in our Galaxy.
