"Are we alone?"
No.
There are approx 7 billion of us according to the government on this Earth.
So the question is truthfully answered.
If you try to read more into that you are not being honest.
"Consider the vastness of space."
OK…
did you know, you could put every one in the world [all 7 billion] in the state of Texas and each would person would have a 1000 ft home to live in. While the rest of the world would be empty.
that's 1000 ft for every man, woman and child.
So…
Yes. The space is vast.
the answer was given correctly.
You just are not understanding the use of the word. Earth, the space you live in is vast. But you are told, it is overpopulated with no room left. There is plenty of room, however the corporations and governments have bought up huge chunks of land that belong to the people. The US government is not allowed to own any land except for the land its building sits on.
