@JoyfulSilence but they are still doing further research. MARS has water and could potentially be host life. Also venus

@RadiantRuby I think Mars now may be too cold, dry, irradiated, and has too low an air pressure, to support life. Yet in the distant past it may have been warmer, wetter, and have a thicker atmosphere. So we may find something.
Venus is way too hot now for anything to survive, and the air pressure is immense, and full of sulfuric acid. But maybe long ago it was cooler and had oceans, and less pressure and no acid.
What I was thinking of, though, is the likelihood that there are many Earth-like planets in the universe. Sadly, they are likely too far away to visit in our lifetimes, unless we find ways to accelerate to near the speed of light, since time slows down. But when we return, a long time will have passed on Earth. But maybe we can just send robots with frozen cells or DNA and create new people when we get there thousands of years later.
