In the \href{https://www.authorea.com/users/2/articles/24715/_show_article}{previous post} we discussed how likely is (intelligent) extraterrestrial life to emerge in the Universe. I have shown that, using the most recent findings in astrophysics and some astrobiology arguments, one can
estimate greatly simplify the
Drake equation. The number of communicative civilizations in our
Galaxy. This Galaxy turns
out to be
is the product of the chance of emergence of intelligent life $f_i$ times the average lifetime $L$ of a civilization's communicative phase.
