This age old question is something that has pondered the many minds of the world for decades I am sure.  Well, we may just be in luck of finding actual life in the near future. 

Nasa has announced that they have just launched a spacecraft called, Kepler into space on March 6th, 2009.  They launched it from Cocoa Beach, FL.  The rocket was named after a German 17th century astrophysicist.  Keler’s mission will last about 3 1/2 years and will cost $600 million.  The mission is to find earth like planets in the Milky Way galaxy.  Planets that are floating around stars and may have water on them which could mean life.

I wrote this article while back talking about how they think thewre are hundereds of planets close by that could be like earth.  Perhaps Kepler may be able to uncover the possible secrets in this area,  The article says that scientists expect to have an answer by 2020.  Well, Kepler’s mission is only 3 1/2 years so it would be awesome if we had an answer by 2012 1/2.

Well, the title of this post is "Do YOU Think There Are Really Aliens Out There."  I what to know what you think about this subject.  I know many people think that there is no way there can be other intelligent life forms out there because of religious reasons and others.  Other people think there are aliens for sure.  While even others think they were abducted by aliens before!  Regardless of your reason I would like to know what you think.

So do you think that in all of that space out there we are simply all alone?  Or do you think there are many worlds just like ours?  I look forward to discussing this with you.

Earlier today I was surfing around on Digg when I came across this article titled, “Aliens Really Do Exist!”.

I was curious so I clicked on the link and noticed it was an article regarding recent information scientists released regarding life on other planets.  They said that based on recent information they now believe that there is life on other planets.

7 astronomers from Britain are convinced that they will find some life in our solar system in the near future.  In 2015 they will execute a mission to land on Mars and dig into it’s surface.  They are enthusiastic because they know that Mars was once warmer and had more moisture.

Another convincing argument is that our own planet is proof that life can exist.  At the very least if another planet is like ours it could quite possibly have life on it.

Scientists expect to have definitive answers by about 2020.

Another fact that is interesting in the article is that we have been sending waves out from our planet since 1927.  This would make them about 80 million miles away from Earth.  There is a lot of other planets between us and that distance.  If their is intelligent life out there than there is a good possibility that they have detected these waves.
