then take 1% of thos planets that could have intelligent life
then take 1% of those planets that are capable of interstallar communication
then take 1% of those planets that are capable of interstaellar travel
and there would still be thousands of intelligent "aliens" in the universe
Gives you an idea about how big the universe possibly is.

See my post above. You are not taking into account that you may be seeing the same planets more than once. Ergo, that 1% you mention may already be 1% of what you see. When you take this into account, the universe really isn't that big after all.
