Hi all

,
So I was reading the last Aussie sky & telescope and came across the Life in the Universe article by Allie Ford. I got really excited by the idea of life in the universe. It isn't new of course, but reading the article really got me thinking...will we witness the discovery of life somewhere in the Universe in the next 10, 20, 30, 40, 50 years?
I can't even begin to imagine what I would feel. It would be something incredibly strong, a real defining moment for humanity. We would learn about our place in the universe, and be exposed to how life has developed in other parts of the universe in a completely independent manner. Just thinking about all this is huge already.
I secretly hope this day comes tomorrow.
Is it only me or are others here dreaming also?
I'm keen to hear what you have to say and strongly encourage you to read this article!
