It's life Jim.... perhaps as we know it?

NASA finds first 'habitable' Earth-like planet

What's the interest in finding other inhabitable planets?

Tourist destinations?

Off shore processing?

New lands to conquer/invade and pilfer?

With Transnational Law still in its infancy and working hard to control Earthly actions, imagine how hard intergasllactic Law would be to administer!

If there is life etc elsewhere, why can't we just leave them alone?

Or is there perhaps a chance that through studying other existences, we might be able to learn a few things for use on Earth?

I dunno, but it just seems like a lot of money is spent to have a peek at what the neighbours are doing.

Yeah, so would I. Where is he? I'm sure UFO would be up to date with anything NASA's doing. He's having a good rest over Easter no doubt as are most of us hopefully.
