NASA: We'll Find 'Definitive Evidence' Of Alien Life In Next 20 To 30 Years
WASHINGTON (CBS) - We're closer than ever to finding out whether we're alone in the universe or not, NASA's top scientist said Tuesday.
The remarks came at a panel at NASA headquarters where scientists were talking about recent discoveries of water around the solar system.
NASA's Chief Scientist Ellen Stofan said scientists will be soon finding the first hints of alien life within the next 10 years.
"I think we're going to have strong indications of life beyond Earth within a decade, and I think we're going to have definitive evidence within 20 to 30 years," Stofan said.
