NASA: Humans Will Prove �We Are Not Alone In The Universe� Within 20 Years

Cambridge, Mass. (CBS CONNECTICUT) � NASA predicts that 100 million worlds in our own Milky Way galaxy may host alien life, and space program scientists estimate that humans will be able to find life within two decades.

Speaking at NASA�s Washington headquarters on Monday, the space agency outlined a plan to search for alien life using current telescope technology, and announced the launch of the Transiting Exoplanet Surveying Satellite in 2017. The NASA administrators and scientists estimate that humans will be able to locate alien life within the next 20 years.

�Just imagine the moment, when we find potential signatures of life. Imagine the moment when the world wakes up and the human race realizes that its long loneliness in time and space may be over � the possibility we�re no longer alone in the universe,� said Matt Mountain, director and Webb telescope scientist at the Space Telescope Science Institute in Baltimore, which plans to launch the James Webb Space Telescope in 2018.

�What we didn�t know five years ago is that perhaps 10 to 20 per cent of stars around us have Earth-size planets in the habitable zone,� added Mountain. �It�s within our grasp to pull off a discovery that will change the world forever.�

Describing their own estimates as �conservative,� the NASA planet hunters calculate that 100 million worlds within the Milky Way galaxy are able to sustain complex alien life forms. The estimate accounts for the 17 billion Earth-sized worlds scientists believe to be orbiting the galaxy�s 100 billion stars.

The NASA panel says that ground-based and space-based technology � including the Hubble Space Telescope, the Kepler Space Telescope and the Spitzer Space Telescope � will be able to determine the presence of liquid water, an essential sign of potential alien life.

�I think in the next 20 years we will find out we are not alone in the universe,� said NASA astronomer Kevin Hand, who suggested that alien life may exist on Jupiter�s Europa moon.

�Do we believe there is life beyond Earth?� asked former astronaut and NASA Administrator Charles Bolden. �I would venture to say that most of my colleagues here today say it is improbable that in the limitless vastness of the universe we humans stand alone.�

The NASA panel said efforts are focused on finding signs of alien life on planets on other stars outside of our solar system.

�Sometime in the near future, people will be able to point to a star and say, �that star has a planet like Earth�,� said Sara Seager, professor of planetary science and physics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in Cambridge, Mass. �Astronomers think it is very likely that every single star in our Milky Way galaxy has at least one planet.�

NASA Already knows aliens exist and have proof 96% sure of that.

like they don't know now

[LifterBrah]

There's no such thing as aliens

[PolishPhenom]

Before I die I just want to see a phucking alien. Is that too much to phucking ask for?

[xfirewolfx]

There's no such thing as aliens

wot?

[FrenchDutchBrah]

French CNES will reveal it in 10

CNES > NASA

I don't understand the logic of someone who denies the likely existence of life elsewhere in our Universe.

[buffuntcay]

dat disclosure, this has been predicted for decades, they slowly break the concept to us until oneday its MIB time

[MetalMonarch]

its pretty easy to understand there is other life in the universe

[buffuntcay]

I don't understand the logic of someone who denies the likely existence of life elsewhere in our Universe.

its amazing to me that people can deny such a thing

[borntorun34]

Honestly guys, this is probably one of the coolest things I've read in a while. I can't even imagine how cool it would be to find out and see pictures of a different planet with creatures somewhat similar to us.

Does anyone have a guess of how many planets there are in the UNIVERSE? Or how many galaxies.

I just hope it's not like Starship Troopers

[FrenchDutchBrah]

Do aliens even lift?

[matthewmoore09]

Odds say, yes there is ET life. Odds also say that the distance b/w us and them is too far to ever communicate. And as the universe expands, the distance only grows. That money should be going elsewhere. SETI is a waste of money and brain power. We have some of our brightest minds focused on this, rather than on more pressing issues. Priorities please.

[Tomohawk92]

I hope to look at this thread 20 years from now and say to my old self "We made it brah"

[gabster9999]

will we finally stop hating each other and start hating them instead?

how long until not just america but all of us think they need some democracy?

tear in my eye :')

This just depressed the **** out of me. We obviously haven't found anything close to us, and it's guaranteed that whatever we do find will be getting further and further away from us. Fuark

[TriggerWarning]

but where are our jet packs?

[AGstrong]

Well, its pretty obvious that life must exist somewhere is in the universe. Hell even in the Milky Way.

But i know retards are going to say that this somehow confirms UFO conspiracies.

[Tbone991]

well let's hope they aren't like the aliens we currently have who just want to abuse our social services

[HiDunk]

I hope we get intelligent aliens, not something like plants and insects. I want those bug eyed, black pupil having, egg headed, 3 fingered, laser beamin' mudda fuggas, nomsayin?

[TheWorldIsUrs]

Like they don't know already

[FrenchDutchBrah]

well let's hope they aren't like the aliens we currently have who just want to abuse our social services

Lel was waiting for this.
