Will ET be here soon? According to NASA, alien life DOES exist…
In September 2014, NASA and the Library of Congress brought together scientists, historians, philosophers and theologians from around the world for a two-day symposium – Preparing For Discovery – so that they get ready for the inevitable discovery of extraterrestrial life.
Astronomer, symposium organizer and former chief NASA historian, Steven J. Dick, told The Huffington Post: (http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/09/22/nasa-astrobiology-alien-search_n_5860714.html)
“We’re looking at all scenarios about finding life. If you find microbes, that’s one thing. If you find intelligence, it’s another. And if they communicate, it’s something else, and depending on what they say, it’s something else! The idea is not to wait until we make a discovery, but to try and prepare the public for what the implications might be when such a discovery is made. I think the reason that NASA is backing this is because of all the recent activity in the discovery of exoplanets and the advances in astrobiology in general. People just consider it much more likely now that we’re going to find something — probably microbes first and maybe intelligence later. The driving force behind this is from a scientific point of view that it seems much more likely now that we are going to find life at some point in the future”.

At the symposium, Seth Shostak, senior astronomer at California’s Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence (SETI) Institute, shared some astonishing numbers. “It’s a big number: 10,000 billion, billion. And we know that most of those stars have planets – 70 or 80 percent. If all of those planets are sterile, and you’re the only interesting thing happening in the cosmos, then you are a miracle. That would be exceptional in the extreme. So, the middle-of-the-road approach is to say, ‘You’re not a miracle, you’re just another duck in a row of ducks’.”

NASA’s Mars Curiosity Rover discovered spikes of methane, a gas usually produced by biological life, on the Red Planet – a first hint of alien life (http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/science/space/11297326/Life-on-Mars-Nasa-finds-first-hint-of-alien-life.html) in December 2014.
Now, NASA has its sights set on a visit to Jupiter’s Europa, where there is a possibility of finding extraterrestrial life. Under its icy shell, Europa has an interior ocean that could be ten times deeper than those on Earth, and include two to three times the volume of all liquid water on our planet. White House’s $18.5 billion budget proposal includes $500 million (http://www.space.com/28433-nasa-budget-request-2016-deep-space.html) for NASA in 2016 for developing a mission to Jupiter’s Europa, and its Asteroid Redirect Mission.
