sliceofscifi.com — A French-led satellite launched on Wednesday to seek out new Earth-like planets beyond the solar system and to explore the interior of stars. The COROT project sent into orbit a telescope capable of detecting planets smaller than is currently known ?some maybe just a few times the size of Earth and rocky, rather than the larger, gaseous types.

WOW!! Amazing.But I understand that NASA already placed some signals receiver on the Space to receive any signals from any living planets.

as violent and ignorant the human race is i doubt extraterrestrials would want anything to do with the human species, even the most powerful and greatest leaders of us humans can not get along and are as corrupt as your average white collar gangster, i would believe extraterrestrials would either avoid humanity or kill us all off before our species achieve interstellar space flight and pollute other planets...if humanity can not get along with each other what makes you think life would be better if we find another life form on other planets?

What makes you think that aliens will not be exactly the same in terms of hostility towards our own species?

They may very well be like us. And if they are, then as bub says, there's not much reason for them to deal with us, just like a 'civilised' country on Earth is a bit reluctant to deal with an uncivilised one. I think this would be the same for seeking out new life.

"I didn't see any thing about it actually going to the planet and killing it."That's because it's European and not American.
