Further study on the data leads them to believe there are five planets within the orbit of this star, one with an orbit of 168 days and mass at least 4 times that of our own earth's. This planet is within the habitable range of Tau Ceti.
Who wants to go?

That really will be the coming of a new age. Though I think we'll detect something like radio signals first.
If we inhabit another planet that is way out there, we can have a more distant outpost to send our own radio signals out.
Thus increasing our chances of finding other signals not of our own design.
It is perfectly acceptable to fear and admire a being you could not possibly understand.

That's why I said something 'like'.That's assuming they will be advanced enough to use signals as such, and they actually decide to use radio waves. They could go with something completely different depending on the terrain, technological paths, etc.
In a book series I'm re-reading right now, there's an alien race that seems to communicate through genetics, they create viruses and engineered molecules to convey information,

I was also thinking, what if they evolved without eyes? They could use the visible light spectrum instead of radio/microwaves.

Not a creature of some sort, just something small and cellular.

I'd love to see some ammonia based life as might exist on Titan. That'd be the shit.
Read this a while back.
The article is from 2010 so its old news, but still awesomely cool and opens our eyes to the potential of finding other life out there that is very different from what we know.

Definitely. You have to love biology, no matter what is thrown in the way, life somehow manages to break the barriers down and acclimatise. That in itself is an inherently beautiful thing.
Not to mention incredibly impressive.
The odds of certain biological units even existing is fantastically small.
Yet there they all are, sticking it to the man.
