Only a matter of time. Either life comes to us or we go to life, its a matter of time.
Many investments into space exploration has grown as of late and with new technology, it will facilitate the discovery of "earth like" planets
I'm hopeful
cheers

Europa ties with Mars; liquid water, organics and an potential source (geothermal). we would desire to continually be looking plenty nearer at Europa... yet Mars is plenty greater common to get to, we choose nuclear propulsion. next i'd say Enceladus, a tiny moon of Saturn, which additionally has the three standards... probable. Ganymede and Callisto have oceans one hundred miles under the ice crust floor... yet what potential components? a protracted shot would be Titan even however its surprisingly chilly there; it might would desire to be "existence as we don't comprehend it" and use something else to boot water as a liquid solvent. The darkish horses would be Venus (interior the clouds 50 miles up) and Io which has fairly some potential components; returned existence as we don't comprehend it. and there is often the Jovian planets that have huge atmospheres with clouds that have Earth-like situations of temperature and rigidity.. yet can existence style in a gas or does it choose a liquid (ocean)? i think existence is surprisingly plenty everywhere there is (a million) liquid water (2) organic and organic carbon-based chemistry happening (nutrition) and (3) an potential source existence could make the main of for metabolism.

Well due to limitations of optics, we can only resolve things within' .0001" which corresponds to a distance of 10000 parsecs.
While this is a huge distance to us, it pales in size of the universe.
Now, in order to find life as we expect it, we need a several limiting factors:
We need them to have a star no more than 1.5 solar masses so that life has time to evolve.
We need a non-variable star so that it doesn't reek havok on a planets climate.
If its a binary system, the starts either need to be really close or really far apart as to not effect the planet's orbit.
It also has to be a star that has formed within' the last 6 billion years so that there is enough metal abundant to form rocky plantets.
When you begin considering all these aspects, its really unlikely that we will discover planets with life.

You would think there is other planets where life exists. We cant be the only planet with life. When will we find it? Dont know. Maybe they will find us

Sure, There has to be more than just us.
Not sure where, but far far away.
If they contact us, could be tomorrow, if they are relying on us to find them..200 years.
We will have a serious of space stations acting as steppin stones that will allo w us to explore space further and further until we run into another lifeform.

No u will not if the government has not found that out and nasa has been out of space and hasn't see anything what makes u think u will find life very slim chance have a nice day.

why, so we can kill and hunt there? Take over that planet
and pollute it.
