I do hope we can find something on the planet.However I don't think the condisions can be surviveable.
Well, sure, no evidence etc, but statistically speaking one of those positions has far more weight, and as a hint it's not your position. Frankly I rate it on the "impossible" scale that there is no other intelligent life in our galaxy, and on the "highly unlikely" scale that there is no other intelligent life in our local cluster. but to be honest I'd be happy to find alien life in any form, we have allot to learn from life still.

yo this is a badass article it would be SICK if there was some creatures down there think the same stuff we think "what if there is no other life out there" and then BAM we stumble apon them 
but i bet if we ever meet with intelligent life some bad shit will happen our ignorant people will probably try to pillage it and take its resorces and tha twould be terrible or possibly enslave them that would be worse lets hope something good happens

This is not going to happen, what you think we'll just send idiots to meet with a new race? No, we'll send robots, scientists, officials, etc. If they take the robots as offensive then that could be a problem, but any intelligent species will listen to reason.

The problem is:
How to get there?
Or even better:
Where are we gonna get there even if we try to go there?
The planet sure was an interesting discovery, but due to it's distance it may be very hard to study it.
Indeed, most of the ideas for this are either "Wait until we have FTL travel or we know FTL travel isn't going to happen (we don't yet)" or "Wait until we can put the people on board into stasis so the trip doesn't age them." or "Send robots", all of these ideas have problems, and it's a legitimate question to ask how we will get there, but I don't doubt that we will find a way, technology has a way of surprising people when it really shouldn't, it's fairly predictable, and with the proper statistics it would be possible to calculate when we would have FTL travel if it is possible, when we could store a decent AI and ship it into space, when we could keep that data stored for decades as it travels without power.

Yes, technology nowadays seems to be growing more and more, and as it is introduced, it keeps impressing people with the unexpected, so I don't see a reason why it would fail to make us shit a brick once again. Eventually we will find a way to make it there, maybe soon, maybe not, but I can almost guarantee that we will make it.
oh yeah
