There will be "strong indications" of alien life within a decade and "definite evidence" of it within 20 to 30 years, NASA's chief scientist has said.
"We know where to look. We know how to look," Ellen Stofan said during a panel discussion Tuesday on NASA's search for alien life and habitable worlds. "In most cases, we have the technology, and we're on a path to implementing it."
But she was quick to add: "We are not talking about little green men. We are talking about little microbes."

I think far less than 20-30 years, Nasa now estimates 40 "billion"(billion is a lot by the way) earth like planets in our Milky way galaxy alone, when the James Webb is launched in a few years with a ability to actually read spectrums of light from an exoplanet... It may just find life faster than we could ever imagine.
James Webb = Hubble on steriods!
