Today I watched Start trek. I generally like fiction and this was one of the movies I really enjoyed. Movie is about planet wars. Where planets convert to debris in seconds.
After watching movie a thought came to my mind. Well actually a series of thoughts came to my mind lets go through a few of them one by one. Its a very old question, does life exist outside earth somewhere in universe?
Many scientists have simply denied the possibility of life anywhere other. Some have claimed that series of events which make life possible are so rare that its just not possible. My question is all of us believe that universe is so big that we can possibly never know what is inside it. The light which reaches to us from stars, can we ever possibly go closer to even one of them and see what they really look like? When such thing like existence of life can happen on a planet near SUN, why cant such a phenomenon happen in billions of billions of other SUNS/ Stars. Besides that may be that there are things on some planet which support different kind of life. May be life without OXYGEN,WATER. I don't think we can just deny that life is just not possible out of earth , yes this might be true that we never come to know about it. In fact some things tells me we are not alone in this universe, there are people who are superior to us and there are people who are inferior to us. Its just a matter of time when someday someone will contact earth. I dont believe we are going to approach any planet with life though :)
Now here comes my main question, we have seen in some movies species moving to some new planet when there planet is going to destroy itself. Not now, may be after millions years there might be a time when age of earth gets over. It might just crash like an artificial satellite of NASA/ISRO crashes from orbit. Then what are our predecessors going to do? Should we move to another planet ? Can we ever find a planet which is exactly like earth, well if that is true than probably there are people thinking about us as we do for them. But lets say we can't find a planet like that. Can we create one ?
Can we create an earth?
Theoretically I would say we can, what we need for life is oxygen, water. Water we can make by chemical reactions if we have enough other chemicals on planet. Then we need oxygen/air, is there someway we can create a protection layer surrounding the planer which makes sure that no air passes through that layer then transfer air from earth to that planet. Once air is there it will never eave and it will be just like earth. We can experiment over this thing on smaller scale.
Well this is not gonna be easy but seems possible to me. May be someday technology really reaches such level when we can create our own new earth.

The search for water on Moon or Mars is going on just make life possible on those planets. You are talking about creation of water using chemical reaction. The recent discoveries by Chandrayan I indicated traces of water on samples collected from Moon surface. Its not the oceans of water they are looking for on these planets or Moon.
Don't know whether we will be able to find a planet like earth. Seeing the current technological limitation its looks unlikely to me if we see progress in this discovery in near future.
We still can survive for millions of years, may be someday we can get some technology which enables us move faster than C (velocity of light), if that thing ever happens we can definitely go and check if there is life somewhere.
Thats right as of know though that theoretically nothing can move faster than light but lets see.
