      In a sense, we already explore the galaxy. Astronomer are detecting planets around stars across our Galaxy and they have a goal of being able to observe those planets around the nearer stars. If I know my colleagues in astronomy they will do this!

      Definitely Martin’s bag this question. I think life exists elsewhere! Maybe just not in the form we immediately think of when we say alien…like, not a wee green character with antenna and googly eyes on the end.

      I don’t know. I wish I can see it in my lifetime. 🙂

      I don’t know how long it will take for humans to explore the galaxy but I do hope that I will still be alive to witness some of this happening! I definitely think that there’s life out there, don’t know in what shape or form but we are not alone in this universe!
