It seems that it was just yesterday when we didn't know any planets existed let alone one with similar size and orbit to earth.
On a less hopeful note, was watching a program on TV on life on other planets and they were saying that SETI has been trying to listen to some sign of civilization for 50 years. That 50 years from now they would have scanned the full universe and if nothing heard, it is end of the game on hearing their transmissions!
That part is a constant. If we hear something today, it may be voices from hundreds or billions of years back. That we don't hear it, means that searching for radio frequencies is not fruitful. It is not like if we waited a few years it would make a difference.Huh? If the fastest thing we know is the speed of light and the known universe is billions of light years across, how could we possibly have received even more than a very a small percentage of the possible indications via various transmitted wavelengths from all of the universe in only 100 years?

I only mentioned petrol/oil/gas as a way to get rid of it all...in a humorous/sarcastic kind of way. ...We truly need to free ourselves from this cancerous type of polluting corrupting energy. ...For the best of our health...physically and mentally...financial activity that is ruining our children's children.
If we clean our air and water, by planting more trees and forests, and have electric cars and electric factories all around; then we can find much more powerful natural highly efficient resources to propel our big rocket ship. ...Non-polluting energy. ...Safe for the human bodies, for the wildlife, for all our environment.
Only when we can clean up our own room that we can start rebuilding a new one...in another time in space...faraway.
But we're on the right path...of searching for new energy resources beneficial for mankind, and without financial control/monopoly in the purpose of selfish gain rewards. ...It has to benefit all human beings living on Earth, and not just few self-centered people with a big ego and wrong attitude who are detrimental of good Earth's balance with all the people living on it.
For example; bullets and bombs they pollute the air we breathe and the music we hear. ...Plus it makes a bloody mess.
It's real cool to talk about other possible planets that we can inhabit, but it's even cooler, I think, to talk about how we can make this one more habitable first. ...Like how many people can our planet handle? ...One hundred billions? ...Less? ...Then we'd better think more seriously about water, food, health care.
The science of space is truly magic, the science of Earth is truly real. ...The space we live in.
I heard the planet is populated by giant, intelligent, lobster-like creatures that enjoy gobbling up humanoids, snapping off their heads and sucking out their brains while listening to music not unlike The Beach Boys "surfin USA". News reports of undercover sting operations have shown some trying to develop "less crunchy" methods because the sound of the heads popping off tends to freighten the humanoids still staring at their little telephone like devices, causing adrenalin surges which makes the brains congeal making them harder to suck out.
On an orbiting moon GILLCABS (giant lobster-like creatures against brain sucking) are planning protests during the coming full moon by threatening to eat beans excessively leading to higher than normal levels of CO2 in the ring surrounding the planet, causing a die-off of the humanoids who normally like to lie in the sun until nicely darkened like toasted marshmallows. This, the GILLCABS say, will put an end to the brain sucking once and for all.
