The times are more tenuos than exciting. I think before we can really appreciate the possibility of life else where we have
to appreciate the life that we have right here. If there is life on a nearby planet and I think this is a real possibility, we need to start taking another approach to the way we handle this. Like the saying when I was a boy I thought of childish things and now that I am a man I must turn my thoughts to more serious pursuits.
From the looks of the early images of titan, there is a very real chance of life existing there. Mind you if intelligent life exists there, we are not likely to be told about it, for fear of mass panic being set upon us. Organised religions will not handle the shock very well. It is indeed a matter of time before we find life elsewhere. We cannot keep assuming that we are the only ones in this large universe!!.
Anyway that's what I think.
