"There is no planet B [habitable to human beings]."

"I would never say we can never reach the stars and possible habitable planets."

"The discovery of Gliese 12 b is a stepping stone towards finding potentially habitable planets."

The discovery of several smaller and cooler stars is "the best bet for finding habitable planets."

"[W]e're more likely to detect planets in the habitable zone with TESS [NASA's Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite]."

"That there will not be a manned flight to Mars in 2028, nor in 2031, and probably not for twenty years after that."

"I’m thinking somewhere between 2040 and 2050."

"I'd say that [2040] is an audacious goal for us to meet."

"Humans are unlikely to step foot on Mars until the 2040s/2050s at the earliest, and there’ll never be a significant human settlement there because Mars is basically uninhabitable."

"Since nothing ever seems to go exactly according to plan, I'd expect something more like 2040."

"Space agencies hoping to send crewed missions to Mars by the early 2030s will either have to double down on their budgets or settle for less ambitious missions."

"And if we persevere on this pathway, we can reach Mars itself before 2035."

"We want to achieve a Mars landing in 2033."

"Humans will set out for Mars in the 2029 or 2031 windows, most likely."

"I think that the first human mission to Mars will take place about 2030, even though it is not currently on NASA’s schedule or any other space agency."

"Human landings [on Mars] may start as soon as 2029, although 2031 is more likely."

Will humans be sent to Mars before 2036?

U.S. President Donald Trump announced on Thursday that he will direct the Secretary of War and other relevant departments to begin identifying and releasing government files related to alien and extraterrestrial life, unidentified aerial phenomena and unidentified flying objects.

Trump told reporters that Obama "gave classified information" and "was not supposed to be doing that," calling it a "big mistake." When asked about his own beliefs regarding aliens, Trump said: "I don't know if they're real or not."

In 2023, the House Oversight Committee held a hearing with former military intelligence officer David Grusch, who claimed the Pentagon had built a multi-decade program to reverse-engineer nonhuman technology. The Pentagon denies his claims.

A Pentagon report released in March 2024 stated it had no proof that unidentified aerial phenomena were alien technology, with many suspicious sightings turning out to be weather balloons, spy planes, satellites and other normal activity. No conclusive evidence exists regarding life on other planets.

When a former commander-in-chief says "they are real" on a public podcast, those words carry weight beyond casual speculation. If Obama pulled that from classified briefings, it's a genuine security violation — and Trump declassifying the files is the appropriate response, finally giving the public the transparency it deserves while holding a former president accountable.

The UFO file release is a transparent distraction tactic to divert attention from the Epstein files that remain hidden. Trump is using alien conspiracy theories as political theater to avoid accountability on more serious matters. This is classic misdirection when real scandals need to be addressed.

There's a 2% chance that by 2100, two national space agencies will conclude that an interstellar object in our solar system has a non-human artificial origin, according to the Metaculus prediction community.
