Since the first planet not belonging to our solar system was discovered in 1995, scientists have since documented over 400 more.

400 planets so far. Man, that makes me really curious.

^ Billions and Billions as Sagan would say..

I'm trying to figure out a way to sell advertising on them, sit back, then profit.

There IS life beyond our solar system. It would be incredibly short-sighted to think, as vast as the universe is, that we were the only ones in it.

JMO.

To infinity and beyond!

Read www.serpo.org for a good laugh!

will hemp grow on another planet..??

Their 5 yr mission......to boldly go where no earfling has gone b4!

the only worlds we need to be concerned with are the ones within our own minds.....dude.

Recently, Steven Hawking stated that it would be arrogant to believe that we are the only life in the cosmos. Especially when considering it’s near limitless size, duration and possible dimensionalities.

If we are alone, it would be an awful waste of space.

I wonder if the other worlds have smoking bans?

Or Red Squirrels?

#1- of those 400 how many are gaseous? almost all..? just curious. Would only support life if you were a fart.

FGM -

My co-workers are looking at me as I LMAO.

Thanks....I needed that!

I was a young man when I read the newspaper headline “Scientists discover rings around Uranus”.

. . . . . . . . And the thread plummets

Most of the search is looking for conditions similar to Earth to sustain life similar to our forms...how ignorant and narrow minded?

Why can't other conditions promote different forms of life?

Isn't possible that other forms breath anything other than oxygen, or drink anything else other than water? Maybe they don't need to breath or drink at all...

^Hmm.. with limited resources where should we "search" first..? The best possible places or zillion to one long shots.. I dont think its narrow minded I think its logical..

Thousands of Aliens come to America every day

I could really care less if life exists beyond earth. If it's not going to help pay the mortgage or assist the retirement of my wife and I...then so what.

Too many issues and problems on this planet to be concerned if life exists somewhere else.

Caymen, there is life here on Earth that does not breath oxygen or drink water. It's 6000 feet below us and lives on methane.

We have proven that even on Earth, neither of these two are needed for life. Some groups are looking at Titan, one of of Jupiters moons real close these days. It is showing signs of life. Interesting.
