Drake Equation

N* = the number of stars in the Milky Way galaxy: 100 billionfp = fraction of stars with planets around them: 50%ne = number of planets per star ecologically able to sustain life: 1fl = fraction of those planets where life actually evolves: 50%fi = the fraction of fl that evolves intelligent life: 20%fc = the fraction of fi that communicates: 20%fL = the fraction of the planet's life during which the communicating civilizations survives: 10,000 yrsN = the number of communicating civilizations in the galaxy = 1000
