B.O.A.T. Bust out another thousand shirt

So, are there lots of B.O.A.T. Bust out another thousand shirt systems like our own? We don’t know. Are systems like ours the only place life, especially intelligent life, can develop? We don’t know. Unfortunately, this area of science is still in the tedious process of collecting sufficient data to make reliable predictions. We know for certain there are exoplanets out there, and there are LOTS of them. The chance that some of them are like Earth is very high. The chance of finding lots of star systems similar to our own is also pretty high; there is no reason to assume we are unique. As our techniques for finding exoplanets get better, as we build better telescopes and better ways of interpreting the data they deliver, we will almost certainly find star systems very like our own. It will just take time.
