On Monday, famed physicist Stephen Hawking and Russian tycoon Yuri Milner held a news conference in London to announce their new project: injecting $100 million and a whole lot of brain power into the search for intelligent extraterrestrial life, an endeavor they're calling Breakthrough Listen.

It would be good to know if there's life out there.
It would be idiotic to try and contact it, unless we're VERY sure it's less advanced than we are.

Oh it exists, we all hope they would be friendly.

Oh it exists, we all hope they would be friendly. There is no proof life exists anywhere else, regardless of probabilities. So you can't assert this credibly. If they're not friendly, we're truly screwed. Idiotic movie plots notwithstanding, it's extremely unlikely we can upload a virus to their computer from one of ours.  |

Lets say it's probable, with 400 billion stars in our galaxy alone.
I have NO doubt we will find life in short term, the goal is speeding up now.
And IMHO, it's here already, yes Govts cover it up.

The world is being preped for disclosure, a slow lead up to minimize the shock. Why NASA’s top scientist is sure that we’ll find signs of alien life in the next decade Is there anyone out there? The answer is almost certainly yes, a top NASA scientist said this week. The search for alien life has long since shifted from a question of whether it exists to a question of when we'll find it. And NASA's chief scientist Ellen Stofan predicted this week that the answer could come within the next decade. "I believe we are going to have strong indications of life beyond Earth in the next decade and definitive evidence in the next 10 to 20 years," Stofan said at a panel on Tuesday, according to the Los Angeles Times. www.washingtonpost.com/news/speaking-of-science/wp/2015/04/08/why-nasas-top-scientist-is-sure-that-well-find-signs-of-alien-life-in-the-next-decade/ |

NASA's top scientist is sure we'll find life because publicly asserting that is part of his goal: to cozen money from the Federal government. I fail to see the general public benefit we gain from spending a lot of Federal dollars on this hunt.

There's life out there Jim, but not as we know it.   |
