Researcher says detection of alien life possible within 10 years. September 5, 2013 4:46 pm bowser

Astronomers will have the capacity to detect life outside the solar system within 10 years, according to one researcher.  A new satellite would detect planets and the Hubble telescope could analyze the atmosphere.  If oxygen and some other substances are found, there is probably life.

Personally, I think I’ll hang around to see if it happens.  I think this is really interesting.
