What do you think about space exploration, in finding climates that could *theoretically* harbor lifeforms?

Do you think life on the planets in our solar system is really possible? Why or why not?

An interesting article about a recent discovery, on a Saturn Moon! http://www.space.com/scienceastronomy/080320-titan-ocean.html

Yes, I think life on other planets is all too possible. It would be foolish to think Earth is so unique that out of all billions and billions of planets out there, not a single one would support some kind of life.

However, it is equally likely we will never ever see them, or if we see them, there is no way to communicate. Either because their evolution is too different, or in a completely other phase. Most likely, if we find life somewhere, it will be in the form of bacteria/microbes or similar.

Either way, we are quite sure time-travel and lightspeed travel speeds are impossible, otherwise those highly advanced aliens out there would have been here by now..

You know in all those films where aliens come and try to take over because they have destroyed their own planet, well that sound a lit like what we will be doing, we should look a little closer to home and understand our own planet before trying to inhabit others.

Life on other planets is definately possible, the biggest problem currently is our mode of transportation which lets face it is primitive, very slow. What is the point of finding these planets if we have no chance of getting there!
