Astronomers will have the capacity to detect life outside the solar system within 10 years, according to one researcher. A new satellite would detect planets and the Hubble telescope could analyze the atmosphere. If oxygen and some other substances are found, there is probably life.
Personally, I think I'll hang around to see if it happens. I think this is really interesting.
