What are the chances ?

By T.K. Randall

With telescopes being aimed towards planets around distant stars in the hopes of one day discovering life elsewhere in the universe, some still hold out hope for life being found on another planet within our own solar system.
Life, at least on our world, is an extraordinarily resilient and hearty thing. You can go miles into the earth’s crust and find living microbes. You can journey to the frozen poles - that in some ways mimic the harsh conditions on some of the other world’s in our solar system - and you’ll find life thriving. Even if our world were to undergo almost every natural or manmade cataclysm in the book, some form of life would likely survive. Only the eventual death of our sun seems to be a surefire way of life on earth giving up the ghost. So what are the chances of life outside of the earth in our solar system?"

Humans have the technology now to go out and colonize new worlds. It may take dozens of years or generations to get from one star system to another, but really compared to the 6000 years since large scale civilizaiton started that would be a drop in the bucket.
