Not only does NASA's chief scientist believe alien life forms likely exist, but she said the space agency knows where to look and could discover signs of extraterrestrial life within the next decade.

Speaking on a panel discussion on Tuesday about water in the universe, NASA's chief scientist Ellen Stofan said she believes the first indications of alien life could come by 2025 -- with more concrete evidence of extraterrestrial life coming in 20 to 30 years.

"We know where to look. We know how to look," she said. "In most cases we have the technology, and we're on a path to implementing it, so I think we're definitely on the road."

I was just watching Underwater Universe last night on History channel and they were exploring the 5 deep layers of the ocean. And stated that less than 1% of the ocean's floor has been discovered, but cameras have caught flat fish on the bottom. Leading the scientists to believe that if life could survive under such extreme pressures and conditions, then life is more than likely to exist in more inhospitable environments.

While Stofan predicts mankind is likely not alone in the universe, she said she expects alien life won't be "little green men."

I've never understood why so many think that earth-like planets within the goldilocks zone are the only conditions for supporting life. I mean I get why that is the focus because we KNOW life is possible, but we know so little about the universe, that I would think we could easily be unaware of other conditions--with organisms we know nothing about--that can sustain life.

NASA has more funding now than it's ever had however the percentage of the National budget it receives is lower.

I met a lot of bright people at NASA.

I also met a lot of not so bright people at NASA.
