Astronomers hopeful of detecting extra-terrestrial life

Interesting quote to end this article:

news.bbc.co.uk...

"Were we to find life, even the simplest life, elsewhere that would clearly be one of the great discoveries of the 21st Century. "I suspect there could be life and intelligence out there in forms that we can't conceive. "And there could, of course, be forms of intelligence beyond human capacity, beyond as much as we are beyond a chimpanzee," he added.

I find it interesting how legitimate science is transitioning from the focus on finding 'earth-like' planets to the decent possibility of finding intelligent ET life in our lifetimes. I know it's not as sexy as a grand date for 'disclosure,' but on the other-hand, it is information that the more rigid adherents to rationality and skepticism can find exciting....

I really think that THEY think Kepler is going to pull through. I do.

It's gonna be exciting!
