Even if there is, we will never see it. Not any living human being will ever travel among the stars.

The ‘Speed of Light’ is not anywhere near fast enough and that is the limiting factor of space travel.

Neither is 10 times the Speed of Light, which is technically impossible to achieve.

When we become Spirit Beings, like God and the Angels, and can traverse the universe at the speed of thought, then we will see everything that’s out there.................

I doubt it will ever be technologically possible to travel to a planet orbiting another star, given the distances involved and the impossibility of going faster than the speed of light.

We now know there are lots of "exoplanets" out there and it may be that some have some kind of life--but perhaps only very primitive forms. The chances of intelligent life evolving somewhere else may be infinitesimal--but given the number of stars in the universe, there could be one or more elsewhere, maybe in another galaxy. So we are very unlikely ever to make contact (and it may be safer not to), but it is conceivable that we will find evidence of some kind of life elsewhere even if we can't actually visit it.
