With upcoming space telescopes in the 2030s, there should be a few capable of analyzing exoplanet atmospheres. Exciting to think we may be soon able to deduce the presence of carbon-based life in another planetary system.
I’ll be very happy when we discover with a high degree of certainty Earth-like planets. It will give humanity something to set its sights on. First probes then humans. Probably generational ships. All kinds of cool technology will need to be invented to enable that. I feel humanity needs a new space race.
Sorry, best we can do is multiple genocides, and bringing back viruses we've all but eliminated.
