We are not alone, there has to be life out there somewhere. Not Star Wars or Star Trek type stuff, just some life somewhere.

So let's assume there is and look at how advanced we are, we struggle to get man on Mars, to get life onto another inhabited planet think of the civilization it would need to achieve it. And think of the massive investment.

We spent a fortune going to the Moon and what did it bring us? Maybe Mars will have something that's worth stretching technology to it's limits to bring it back. What could it be and how much would we need?
