Alien life ” in the next 10 to 50 years”- NASA SCIENTIST INTERVIEW

In this Interview, NASA Scientist Tom Barclay, director of the Science Support Centre for the TESS mission discussed NASA’s mission of mapping the universe and finding alien life.

On October 1957, The Sputnik 1 made by the Soviet Union successfully launched and entered Earth’s Orbit. This was the first step towards the race for space exploration. We are living in an exciting time for astronomical discovery. To explore, witness and understand the universe, is one of the greatest human adventures. We still do not understand much of this vast horizon, but we are making technology that will unravel some of its secrets. Earlier this month, NASA launched its new planet-hunting satellite in search for habitable planets. This will be the first satellite to map over 80 per cent of the skies and will focus on Earth-like planets that can sustain life. Life outside our solar system has always been part of our imagination. But as weird as it may sound, a lot of science has been found to be like science fiction. This opens the possibility of life on other planets, potentially changing how we approach space exploration. While we might not discover life immediately, this can certainly lead to incredible discoveries.
