Dr. Who is wrong. We could not mate with anything amongst the stars. Even if aliens exist they would be radically different. You might as well as bone your VCR.

The act of separation would create new species. Not our drive to bone.

Doctor Who is also wrong about magic and time travel existing, but it's a fantasy show so it doesn't matter.
Given that we have absolutely no idea what other biological systems could look like, what you're saying seems extremely likely, but not an absolute certainty.
It's near certainty. I mean it's not absolutely certain that your nearest pencil won't transform into Jesus and tell you the message that will unite all of humanity. I kinda doubt you would entertain it though.
Yes, true.
