"We need to gain deeper understanding about the plausible building blocks of life, the pathways and the timescales of chemical reactions and the external conditions to help us prioritize target stars and target planets," said Quantz. "We need to verify to what extent the traces of life are true bioindicators, because maybe there are other processes that could lead to the creation of the gasses in these atmospheres."
Quantz added that while ambitious, the 25 year timeframe he set himself for finding life outside the solar system is not "unrealistic."
"There's no guarantee for success. But we're going to learn other things on the way," he said.

Finding life on another planet would be one of mankind's greatest achievements and would revolutionize our understanding of life, evolution, and our place in the universe.

I think we will find lives yeS, but people will be disapointed. The lives won't necessarily be complex people and might be animals who just live by their extinct

Our space programs only get a very small amount of the federal budget. Far, far more of it is blown on the military.

The magic of light speed is that if they find it, it will almost definitely have been dead for a long time already.

"God put those bacteria on those planets to test our faith." Or something like that.

Space is big. Like incomprehensibly big. It makes sense that the bigger a budget the space research industry has, the more they can explore within a certain amount of time.

Probably in the most popular view of it, but not for anyone who's actually delved into and read any of them.

At least, I can't remember anything really contradictory to most modern religions if that were the case. Never understood the whole science vs religion bit when they don't really conflict, even moreso after sitting down and reading some of their texts >_>

It's like Christianity. There's no inherit conflict in the texts themselves between evolution and what's in the texts. It's mostly from extremely, disingenuously literal interpretation that those perceived "Science is real, therefore religion is fake" stems from.
Which is funny because in Shinto, Christianity, and Buddhism off the top of my head, they all actually have implications of evolution in their stories, teachings, and texts :x

Followers, especially of Christianity, very much like to just deny anything that doesn't fit with their worldview, regardless of how logical the denial is. They'll just claim the discovery is fake.
