scientist are hardworking and finding life on other planets, may be there is life, but i don't think that those planets are made for living, only Earth is a place where all living things are surviving, what you think about other planet or Life???

i know there are other living things out there. they say the universe and never ending so there are endless possibilities. and if so we only really know whats in our solar system even though we know real little

no, living things are only on the earth, on other planets may be life found but there is nothing to live

I think there is life maybe not in this galaxy but another one with other planets. Scientists are still unable to know everything. Our technology might be advance, but not enough.

i think we first need to find out how life is formed first. because although humans, animals, plants, microorganisms r able to reproduce, we still can't create life. it is not until we understand the proper criteria for forming life in order to search properly.

we also need to find ways to probe galaxies that are thousands/millions/billions of lightyears away. our technologies r far too inadequate to properly observe life forms that are far far away.

That's true. We don't know what's out there so very far away. Not only that, but science is always changing, proving and disproving things. Take for example Pluto. First we thought it was a planet, now it's not. So who's to say whether there is life out there or not? Maybe scientists overlooked some details and missed it completely...

I agree with redplanet, just because WE are carbon based, breathe oxygen and look like we do doesn't mean that "life" on other planets will have to look like us... what if they move, but look like plants, breathe nitrogen... its still life, we just have no idea what to look for and hwo to look for it
