      Who knows? Who would have thought 100 years ago that we would have put people on the moon, or sent spacecrafts to Mars y 2015? I think we will get the technology to travel further into space – I guess the question is how would we find these other planets like Earth in the first place, even if they did exist? Space is so huge it would be very difficult to know where to start looking.

      I think science will some how be able to send space vessels to planets in other galaxies but it would be an incredibly long time before we are able to do that. The hard part is that these planets are way too far away. It would take absolutely ages to get there even if we could fill the space vessel with enough food and fuel. Perhaps science will find a way to make shortcuts to get to these planets quicker.
