So NASA will go some way to proving what any rational person already knows. That there are vast numbers of Earth like planets. It won't prove that life is abundant in the Universe but even if relatively rare, life will exist out there. It won't stop small minded people having small minds and it won't stop religious loons banging on about God and all that nonsense but at least some of us appreciate the effort, even if it will have no practical value for many generations to come. if ever.

Well with the vastness of space and there being billions upon billions of stars with no doubt billions of planets there is bound to be earth like planets. If it can happen in our solar system why not another one. No doubt there is life out there, and intelligent life at that.

It is necessary to realise that technological civilisations - which is presumably what we think detactable intelligent life is - haven't been proven to last more than a few hundred years yet. Even if a technological civilisation lasts 100,000 years that's a hundred thousandth of the lifespan of a Sun-type star; so we'd have to phone up 100,000 of them before we could expect a response. Arthur C Clarke pointed out that if there were anyone there they'd be either microbes or wizards. Our state of civilisation is somewhat transient in cosmic terms.

Keep in mind Mars is also in the habitable zone so its not an absolute guarantee that it has or can sustain life, It is however the most earth like planet we have come across & has been around a little longer than earth so there has been plenty of time for life to take hold. Discovering Exo-Planets in the grand scheme of things is really quite a simple process, you point a telescope at a star & wait for the brightness of the star to dim, the dimness is an object orbiting across the face of the that star, from there it will blow your mind what we can find out, in this case a rocky planet 4x the size of the earth sitting in the sweet spot. Obviously were not going to reach it anytime soon, but there are other ways we can send an intergalactic hello you never know we may receive one back.
