Do you believe in extraterrestial life?

I believe yes, there are. Intelligent, maybe, maybe not.

What i do not understand is, Why don't we spend more on exploring objects in our solar system we believe can support life, like Europa? What if we find the other sample? that would be the greatest feat of human history.

I could try and explain it more myself, but I'd probably fail horribly. So, here's a link. Note that those estimates and odds are mainly based on...well, estimates and observations.

Well you all saw this coming:

Because it costs shitloads of money, and we still have plenty of problems on Earth itself. Speaking of which, we have yet to explore all of our own planet, let alone others.

I couldn't help myself.

If I am not mistaken then all that is left are our oceans, not exactly what you might call the last frontier. As for how much it cost, can't be more expensive than the United States defense budget.

You just had to do it, didn't you?

The oceans, indeed, there's ridiculous amounts of life forms in there, and even in the rainforests we haven't discovered yet. Heck, even human tribes are being found from time to time. And you want to go looking for potential bacteria millions of light years away? I don't doubt the existence of extraterrestrial life (in the past, present or future), but I see no reason to try and seek it out if we're not going to find them, or end up being unable to communicate with them in any way.

I don't mean millions of light years away, I mean the 4 objects in our solar system that might be able to support life.
A example of this is mars soil, Europa, possibly titan.

Here is a video, of what I'm talking about.

I may have to have you slain, Sly.

Mars supporting life? Well, some bacteria, maybe, but humans? I doubt that'll happen.

I mean mars soil can support life, evident by NASA. Wouldn't bacteria be proof anyways if found on an extraterrestrial object? It is life after all, it is what we should be looking for.

Yes, it would support bacteria and stuff, and there'd be proof that other life exists. It could be interesting to bring back a sample of said bacteria, however I don't see any human walking around there anytime soon.

That i do agree we are a good 10-50 years before we walk there. We are forgetting the possibility that there is life that is not made of the same things we are on earth.

10-50? That's still pretty optimistic. Mars has ridiculous shifts in temperature, and you have those giant storms to deal with.

You forget about the SLS, its a new ship NASA is launching soon, built for deep space travel.

And that helps people survive on Mars' surface...how?

I am not talking about living there just going there, and getting a shitload of soil samples. Some bacteria can live without oxygen. Some have to specifically have no oxygen to live in there environment.

I wasn't talking about living there either. Just staying there for minutes in those kind of temperatures with such kinds of strong winds is near impossible. Mars isn't like the moon.
