Does anybody think that in our life time we will find a planet that supports living organisms?

or even if there is other life out there.

[Gunnair]

Yes.

[raydan]

We've already found a planet that supports life.

What a silly question.

[Thiizic]

i mean like where we can go there and actually take a breath in and remotely be okay.

[sandorski]

Where we can go in our lifetime? No. We probably will find a planet that could possibly support Life within that time though.

[Guy_Fawkes]

It is also likely that said planet is light years from our blue marble. So although we may find life on it now, by the time we get there it could have changed to something completely different or have been wiped out entirely.

or it's waiting for a nice light snack to show up.

Shouldn't the question be.....Will a planet which supports an intelligent life form ever be discovered?

[Thiizic]

well JFK made space travel happen in years, so he could beat the russians. if we really tried, we could do it in a few decades i think.

[ShepherdsDog]

Thiizic Thiizic:

well.....i think.

Really??? We've yet to see evidence of that yet. I for one will remain unconvinced until said evidence is provided.

Obviously you need to do a little more research into this. Saying, well we got the the moon easy enough, just displays your ignorance of the problem.

[raydan]

Yup, even if we found a "possibly" habitable planet today, it would take many lifetimes just to make the trip. Even then, we might find it uninhabitable when we get there for a lot of reasons. If it is habitable, the planet may already have life on it, but the plants or animals would probably not be good for us to consume or they would not provide everything we need to survive. The only way we could live there would be to wipe the slate clean and start over. If there is no life, then how long do you think it would take to terraform? Hundreds... thousands of years... maybe more.

Agreed

[Thiizic]

why are you guys trying to pick a fight? i was asking a simple question. anything is possible, no one thought we could fly, we have planes. stop trying to piss on my opinion.
