All eight were picked out by Nasa's Kepler space telescope, taking its tally of such "exoplanets" past 1,000. But only three sit safely within the "habitable zone" of their host star - and one in particular is rocky, like Earth, as well as only slightly warmer.[/quote]
There's literally so many of these that it'd be stupid to rule out life on another planet. Bacteria or intelligent species.

How long are we going to go with the "just discovered a planet so far most alike earth" hype that seems to happen every time a new batch of planets is discovered? How alike does the planet have to be? How long is "oh SHIT our planet maybe isn't all that unique after all?!!!" going to last? Are people waiting for discovery of a planet where they also eat hotdogs and also has their own Nicolas Cage before they will finally go "okay our planet is just kinda normal in the universe I guess"?
The exoplanet is so similar to Earth it is in fact identical. Our telescopes have been pointed at a mirror all this time

I'd pay any price in my life to live long enough to witness one of these being visited. Kepler-62f looks like something right out of a sci-fi.

[QUOTE=proch;46874275]I bet we're 20 times more badass than they are.[/QUOTE] Considering that we're our planet's apex predatory species, we have unparalleled regenerative healing ability, we're built for Terminator-like endurance over long periods rather than short speed bursts like most animals, and we have tens of thousands of years of fighting experience earned solely by beating each other upside the head over petty disputes of varying degrees, yes we probably are more badass than most sentient life that may be out there. Imagine if we encountered an alien species from a lower-gravity planet, one which had a much less intense version of Earth's evolutionary system or none at all somehow, one which birthed a sentient race of peaceful artists and scholars from a prey species or one that has no interaction with predatory life. A planet that is essentially far less chaotic and competition-focused than ours, which is reflected in the life that took hold. If we met face-to-face with those aliens, chances are we'd be to them what Predators and Xenomorphs are to us in the movies, comparatively-gigantic, genetically-superior killing machines who easily destroy anything in their way, with their species-wide reasoning for it all being "because we can". Except the alien life in this scenario wouldn't have the same strong drive to fight and long-standing culture of violence that we have, so it'd be even harder for them to face us down and win. Of course, there could easily be life out there which evolved similarly to us as apex predators in an ecosystem centered around the cycle of selective breeding and death. However, if their planet was smaller and/or their environment was different enough to be less harsh than ours, we'd still be horrific monstrosities in comparison. Hell, every element of our species and of Earth could be singled out as terrifying to the right alien species, from the planet's chaotic weather and geology, to our ultimate inability to leave combat and competition behind despite their ultimately-hindering effects on our progression to the stars, to our refusal to die no matter what the stars, the planet or our own species throws at us. We're essentially naturally-bred engines of expansion and destruction, born from an ecosystem that uses lethal lifeform competition and timed decay of cells to keep everything in check, who broke free of the restraints the ecosystem placed upon them and continued to follow their programming with no restraints to keep them in check. Even running into us now in our pre-interstellar state would bode badly for life that couldn't just eradicate us instantly from a distance, since we have a good mixture of powerful idle weaponry with no one to use it on and scientific know-how that would let us blast their vessels out of orbit and steal their technology for ourselves. And if they encounter us once we've taken to the stars for real, chances are we'll be even more intimidating and invincible. Advancing robotics and AI technology brings us the chance to replace our limited natural mechanics with superior artificial versions built with no constraining flaws on the horizon, while cloning and genetics tech may give us the ability to remove the imperfections from our existing designs and improve them. The humanity alien life may encounter in a few centuries will certainly be even harder to kill and far more powerful than we are currently, and the improvement will never end for us. Simply put, we're unstoppable badasses from a planet that thrives on death and planned obsolescence, who are so badass that we rose above the cycle of life and turned to each other for the only worthy enemies we could find. We're built to struggle and persevere, be it against the surrounding environment or against kin with similar ambitions, be they human or otherwise. As soon as we have something to aim our guns at that's inhuman and strong enough to pose a threat, we'll have the perfect reason to band together as a species permanently. Hell, our nature and environment is probably why no life has visited if it's even found us out here in the middle of nowhere. Who in their right mind wants to rouse the killing machines aiming their guns at each other in boredom, waiting for something bigger and more interesting they can fight to cross their sights? If any life has come across us, it's probably waiting and praying to its deity that we keep up this whole "diplomacy over war" cultural trend going long enough to become highly-peaceful diplomatic race, otherwise all hell will break loose as soon as we have good reason to unload on some poor bastard.

Our wound survival rate is pretty boss, but it could be better. You have squid whose CNS is spread between their ten tentacles, and not centered in one limb like us. You have crabs, lizards, and insects that can tear off a leg and just regrow it later, 'cause why not. Unlike us, small insects can survive a drop into the Grand Canyon because terminal velocity isn't lethal to them, due their size and mass. Bees and ants can coordinate like motherfuckers with their hivemind system, at a level we could never reach with our disconnected individually rationing minds. And don't forget water bears, tardigrades that can survive up to 3 years in a vacuum. It's true that conflict, on a micro and macro level, has advanced our species significantly, but since the break that separated us from other primates after the common ancestor evolved out, our bodies have been softening. Even worse now that the modern age provides our necessities as commodities and we don't have to struggle in physical combat to ensure our future. The sharpest things on us are our brittle nails and blunted omnivorous teeth--leagues away from the jaws of an alligator or the claws of a black leopard. A single bat from a lion's paw or a silverback's fist can cave our soft, soft heads in. I don't want to kill the fun, I just want to point out that it took us a long, long, long, long time to reach the top of the food chain, and it was only very recently in the planetary timeline. We didn't brute force our way there like the dinosaurs, nor did we stand tall, roll with the punches, and come out on top: we ran away and built tools to kill our predators in lieu of natural defenses. We waited it out until the opportunity when the top land predators were vulnerable to our smarts, then slipped in and dominated by intelligence. so I guess my point is, yes, we are special, but because of our brainpower, not because we're the ultimate life-form on the planet. It's a long time away before we've really left a mark on Earth. If you judge by the lasting survival of an organism, then you gotta give it up for the bacteria of the world. If you wanna judge animals only, then you gotta respect the blind tunneler ant, the horseshoe crab, and all sea sponges. And if you want to go by numbers, then ants win all the way, at something like ~1,000,000,000,000,000 estimated. we've been having our time on the planet, and it's all good, but if we were wiped out, the earth wouldn't give a shit. we conquered by self-defense/survival via intelligence, not because we went out and killed everything else. that makes us top dogs, but if anything just as smart as us that was BIGGER than us rolled by, we'd be fucked. bigger, or possessing any of the traits that we lack, like collective reasoning, more limbs, a hard outer carapace, distributed vital organs, anaerobic respiration, or even just tails with spikes on them. we dominate on our own planet, but only according to the parameters of our own understanding. Imagine an extraterrestrial organism that has six limbs, is amphibious, has duplicates of every vital organ plus its nervous system, which uses a different form of information transfer that is twice as fast as ours, doubling the max speed of their cognitive and reflexive abilities, with senses of smell, hearing, and vision way more pronounced than ours, that can see a wider spectrum of electromagnetic radiation than just our visible spectrum of light, that evolved under water pressure beyond what's found on Earth, under gravity five times as strong, that breathes the .05% methane content in its planet's atmosphere, but can switch to intaking nitrogen if it needs to, that is three times more efficient than us at recycling food and fluids, and that lives on average for 250 years. And also, it has a tail with spikes on it. I'd say we're pretty fragile, really.

Good to have a direction though.
[QUOTE=LoganIsAwesome;46874102]There's literally so many of these that it'd be stupid to rule out life on another planet.

[QUOTE=Axsisel;46877603]Man...now I feel powerful as hell and I want to work as the bodyguard of some Alien singer or something.[/QUOTE] Don't let modern culture and sensibilities fool you, we're all still the same predatory engines of destruction under the skin. It's pretty evident just how capable of violence and inherently-skilled at it we are that violent media is so common and beloved, that conflict is so integral to all human culture and entertainment, that even the kindest, weakest human can snap and kill another under the right pressures. As soon as we have a way to fight without permanently ending human lives to ensure victory, such as fighting against alien life or finding a way to remove attrition from war through robotics/cloning/other measures, conflict will become celebrated rather than demonized once more. Our closest substitutes in combat and non-combat sports, games and movies/TV already show that we love violence and conflict without permanent consequences, it's only when the morality of permanently harming or killing other humans rears its ugly head that we lose our nerve. We're basically trapped at an impasse, with our senses of species preservation and self-serving destruction conflicting horribly in human-on-human battle. Half of us wants to save ourselves and our kin, the other half wants to destroy all threats to our supremacy, which is problematic when we're our biggest threat. I truly believe that the fastest way we can achieve species-wide unity is to get into a fight of any kind with alien life, since giving us a common inhuman threat is the fastest way to make us play nice with each other. As for just how strong we are as a species, any future we have in a galaxy teeming with alien civilizations looks bright to me. If we're our own independent force with friends and enemies, all other races will at the very least be forced to acknowledge our strength for its benefits and threats to them. If we join any sort of alliance, their enemies will cower when word reaches them that the humans are coming. And if alien life unilaterally comes to despise us to the point of aggressive action against us, we will drive them before us with our raw willpower to survive and succeed, establishing a new order to replace whatever order if any existed among them before our rise to the stars. All life in the galaxy will come to eventually respect, fear and love humanity, that much I'm sure of. What I'm not sure of is whether there even is anything out there with a mind equivalent to ours. Even if there isn't any such life, I'm sure we'll make our own once we build ourselves up to having that level of power over creation. One of the ultimate accomplishment a sentient race can ever hope to reach, creating another like itself. Progenitors of all life in the galaxy, now there's a fittingly-grandiose title for humanity. Maybe it'll be our title and ours alone, one day in the far future. For now though, we have to fight our way through what is most likely the puberty of any and all sentient life, the pre-unification era where the ideals, morals and desires of billions come to a head across the entire planet. Who knows which of our civilizations will rise to the top, or if a new one will arise from the ashes of all the others with its own culture that leads us out of our species' violent, chaotic cradle. Future's looking bright for us all, my friend.
[QUOTE=DChapsfield;46878073]-long post-[/QUOTE] Thing is, the fact that we use tools and knowledge to solve problems is not some kind of excuse, it's a part of being a human. We learned to use tools to our advantage and we're not the only ones, there are many non-human examples in the animal world, we just use them way more effectively. We still do the animal stuff like survive-reproduce, it never went away. So there's no point in saying "you humans think you're hot shit, try surviving without your tools and technology and see who gets on top!" because that technology is our part, not some magical problem solver that we stumbled upon and took for granted. Saying "a man without tools or weapons can't do shit against a lion" is the same as saying "a lion without claws or teeth can't do shit against a wolf", you know.

I meant to counter the idea that we were galactically supreme beings by highlighting some of the obvious faults in our (i hate to use this word, but) design, when compared to some of the hazards presented by creatures of our own planet. The idea being that should we encounter another intelligent race out there, we might be screwed on contact because they could have tons more eveolutionary advantages to keep them alive if it ever came down to a fight. Like the Alien, the Predator, or the Thing, there could be dudes who are way better at killing and surviving than us, so we shouldn't necessarily say we're the best just yet.
You don't need big brains to survive if you're the best at killing, though. Don't predators have very little chance to evolve? And to be honest if we ever find some sentient life on other planets (not necessary by landing on it), I'm thinking they will look similar to us, given that their planet is also similar.
I still don't understand why most people think there can only be life in planets similar to ours. Sure, that life may be similar to life here, but maybe other kind of life that doesn't breathe oxygen nor needs water developed in another planet. The universe maybe chock-full of life and we don't even know it.

Let alone extraterrestrial lives, there might even be other living beings just standing next to us that are just not perceivable with our innate sense, brain, and manipulation of materials around us. We humans have limits, a hard-cap.

Odds are every other alien species out there experienced history similar to ours, even if vaguely; everything from ambition to religion are natural byproducts of sapience and sooner or later someone's going to start throwing rocks, spears, rockets and eventually nukes at one another to prove they're right. If you want my personal opinion, Humanity won't be unique in some grandiose way, but rather little quirks and abilities that are rare or uncommon in the galaxy. Less "we're crazy ultra-warriors" and more "we're one of the few races actually able to burp, which is related to our marvelous ability to actually utilize caffeine without frying our brains."
"humanity fuck yeah" stories are almost always either inaccurate or outright false and are so cringeworthy to read through it's like reading really really bad fanfiction. please stop.
[QUOTE=DChapsfield;46878073] It's a long time away before we've really left a mark on Earth. [/quote] And yet we could. We have enough nuclear weapons to leave permanent scars upon the surface of the world, to render it radioactive and hostile to all known higher life forms on geological timescales. It's probably a good thing we haven't yet left that mark on Earth, but we could do it in 90 minutes...or the next one's on the house. Mankind has posession of the ability to bring forth an extinction event on scale with the one 65 million years ago, one with after effects lasting for tens of thousands of years and with scars the Earth will bear until such time as it is swallowed up by the Sun. Total nuclear war would be our 'mark' on the geological timescale. We'd, of course, succumb to our own hubris, but it would be our mark, right alongside Chicxulub Crater in the Gulf of Mexico. We are the first, and so far only, known form of life capable of bringing forth a global extinction event on command. Pray we're smart enough to not hit that button...
