      I really hope so! And I hope the planet is as amazing and diverse as the earth is. It would be quite sad to think that we are alone in the universe…

      I think that will probably happen one day in the future, though not in my lifetime (and probably not in yours). But I am hopeful that in our lifetimes we will develop telescopes powerful enough to see planets in other solar systems directly. That would be pretty exciting, even if we couldn’t actually reach them.

      I think it is definitely possible and I imagine something that will become more necessary in the future as the population of the Earth increases and the amount of resources available to us deplete. However it isn’t something that is going to happen just yet but as long as people want it to happen then it’s always a possibility!!
