Also, I'd like to add that although NSXGMS is correct that it is highly unlikely that any intelligent life will come in contact with another set of intelligent life due to the shear size of the universe, this only holds true if you're solely speaking of traveling the vastness of space using conventional means.
By conventional means, one would have to travel at the speed of light (and even then it would be too slow to be optimal), however as Einstein already proved, anything with a mass cannot travel that fast - period, even if you have infinite energy to propel the 'ship'.
(traveling near or at the speed of light or beyond the speed of light is beyond the scope of this threads' topic, but I'd love to talk about it if anyone is curious
)
It has also been shown that unconventional means of space travel is very possible - such as through the use of worm holes or the bending of space time. Although, we as humans currently do not have the ability/technology to accomplish this type of travel, it doesn't mean that another far more advanced species hasn't already developed this type of space travel.
Although I don't watch Star Trek, I believe this is how they are able to travel the vastness of space in a timely manner.
