For all you science and astronomy lovers.
Astronomers have now found over 1,000 planets out there, 12 which they say are neither too hot nor too cold (in the Circumstellar habitable zone or "Goldilocks zone") and could potentially support life. Estimates are that one in six stars could have an Earth-size planet around them. Odds seem to be ever increasing that there will be another Earth-like planet out there. Do you think we'll find one? What kind of ramifications would there be if we did find life? And for a more down-to-earth question, are we spending enough on space-related projects like space travel, moon bases, and the discovery of exoplanets?
