I think this is all the evidence you will need https://mjhibbett.bandcamp.com/track/the-theory-of-a-dinosau...

The Cretaceous-Tertiary Extinction event occurred, as far as we know,

Sixty five point five million years ago

But even the interval of error in that estimated date

Is longer than it took us humans to evolve from apes

And if in that time we mammals managed to conquer space

I believe the Dinosaurs could have done the same




Perhaps, but one big problem is the rocket equation: dinosaurs are generally very large compared to humans, so they'd need huge spaceships to carry them, and as we know, the rocket equation means you need far more fuel to lift an amount of mass to orbit. Perhaps only some smaller species of dinosaur evolved into an intelligent civilization.
