Default Re: Alien Life

If everything goes as planned, we might have the definitive answer about existance of alien life in 40-50 years. I refer to the project of building space-based interferometer telescope. It should be able to detect Earth-sized planets around nearby stars and even suuply information about atmosphere composition which should give us some ideas about the presence of life forms.
