Highly unlikely that there is not life elsewhere considering the size of the universe, trillions of galaxies, knowing all the elements on the periodic table exist throughout the universe.
If humans do not cause our own extinction I can see scientists proving that a minimum, life can exist in extreme environments within our solar system, say on Mars, or a moon of another planet, even if only microbial.
But it is reasonable, that we may never speak with other intelligent life like ours, considering how remote we are, and even how big just our galaxy alone is.
