So far, astronomers have discovered some 145 so-called extrasolar planets orbiting stars besides our sun. All are gas giants like Jupiter, thought to be inhospitable to life as it is known on Earth.

I'd love to own a bit of paradise a couple of hundred million light years away. Ok outta my lifetime but still. It'll also be awesome to see aliens.

We will have to outfit some space ships, fly there, and conduct anal probes on the aliens just for yucks.
