Many NASA scientists think we're on the verge of finding alien life.

That's because the agency plans to dramatically ramp up its search for signs of extraterrestrial life in the next 10 years — in ancient Martian rock, hidden oceans on moons of Jupiter and Saturn, and the atmospheres of faraway planets orbiting other stars.

"With all of this activity related to the search for life, in so many different areas, we are on the verge of one of the most profound discoveries ever," Thomas Zurbuchen, NASA's former administrator, told Congress in 2017.

Ellen Stofan, NASA's former chief scientist, said in 2015 that she believes we'll get "strong indications of life beyond Earth in the next decade and definitive evidence in the next 10 to 20 years."

"We know where to look, we know how to look, and in most cases we have the technology," she added, according to the LA Times.

Alien life is found often, in the form of microbes that are asteroid passengers that fall to earth and the moon. By chance, they escape the atmospheric plunge and...well, that's how we--all of us--got here.
