Well with the vastness of space and there being billions upon billions of stars with no doubt billions of planets there is bound to be earth like planets. If it can happen in our solar system why not another one. No doubt there is life out there, and intelligent life at that. I have been reading an excellent book by Neil Degrasse Tyson [Link] He explains this quite well, basically the chance of intelligent life forming in the universe is about 1% yet that 1% still means billions of intelligent life out there.

Keep in mind Mars is also in the habitable zone so its not an absolute guarantee that it has or can sustain life, It is however the most earth like planet we have come across & has been around a little longer than earth so there has been plenty of time for life to take hold. Discovering Exo-Planets in the grand scheme of things is really quite a simple process, you point a telescope at a star & wait for the brightness of the star to dim, the dimness is an object orbiting across the face of the that star, from there it will blow your mind what we can find out, in this case a rocky planet 4x the size of the earth sitting in the sweet spot. Obviously were not going to reach it anytime soon, but there are other ways we can send an intergalactic hello you never know we may receive one back.
Yeah I suppose there is but any Alien species that manages to cross the void of space would be so technologically superior to us that we would probably end up being cattle. To be honest Hollywood make a big deal out of our liquid oceans & the like & how aliens want to claim it all for themselves whilst wiping out the human race in the process, this of course is all bollocks there is an insane amount of natural resources on tap floating around in the universe, its a bit of a push for an alien species to go to all the effort of wiping us out when there is a near infinite amount of resources far closer to their homes. I personally believe the day we make contact (& we will) it will be friendly.

I'm with Ouzo Dan, contact with intelligent life really might not work out all that well. We don't exactly have a great record with 'lower' sentient creatures on our own planet, we might not really want to be a 'lower sentient' creature ourselves. I hope it'd be more advanced, emotionally, intellectually and spiritually, but if its not, we'll probably enjoy being pets. Of course the first step in any real space colonization is finding the challenge. Options for 'expanding humanity' into space, don't necessarily require those that leave Earth 1 ever seeing Earth 2.

Well the first thing we'd have to do is send them financial aid.

I saw on the news this morning that to travel to this planet it would take 1400 years going at the speed of light to get there. To put that into context travelling at the same speed it would take you just 2 seconds to travel to the moon !!!!

In the past week or so NASA have sent us pictures of some ice and rocky type stuff (hardly news) and discovered Earth2? Is their budget up for renewal/review?
Time to move forward together. |

So....how much money has been spent on space so far? And apart from satellite telecommunications and googlemaps it has brought us fvck all plus what exactly? Listen geeks! You need to stop w@nking off about a possible Alphanexus XIII and find a lady who wants to discuss Uranus instead.
