    I guess people tend to look to astronomers for information about space, while the Fermi paradox probably borders more on philosophy than on astronomy. And in a lot of people minds philosophers are not real scientists, unlike astronomers.

      Science and Philosophy might not be exactly the same thing, but there is a lot of overlap, and a lot of people who do both.

        An overwhelming portion of what is hard science now was probably in the domain of philosophy once.
