Not necessarily. With our current technology we could not detect rocky terrestrial planets. We could detect large gas giants, but not the smaller ones. Until we manage to get better sensing techniques or some truly amazing telescopes we're probably out of luck.

There are tears in timespace that act as portals, search for Los alamos. Well, Zeta 1 and 2 are a long way apart from one another. Alpha Centauri and Promixa Centauri are close together. Alpha Centauri has a solar system very much like ours, but it's older. The planets are in stable orbits. There are three inhabited planets, Second, third and fifth. Its comparatively easy to get there, less than five light years away, and thats, you know, it's right next door to us.

@personzorz good im only three years late on replying to this comment... WE CAN DO THAT NOW!!! YAAAAY!

@Psilocybinnn - and since Alpha Centauri is 4.37 light years away from here, it'll take about 15 years of travelling, as i've said. So all in all, it's a 30 year process. There's a 50% chance for this to happen, since we don't know yet if Pandora can maintain us for long. All we can do now is to hope.

@Psilocybinnn Pandora is an earth-like planet in the solar system Alpha Centauri, there is a high possibility that us, "earthlings", can colonize it in the near future. Scientists say the time of space travelling needed is 15 years to get there from here. Now, they are continuing on studying this planet further. NASA will soon send an advanced telescope in space connected to a satellite in 2014 or 2015 for further investigation. It'll take about 15 years to figure out if we can really live there

there are some goofs. gas giants cannot be formed in the alpha centauri system. that just doesn't adhere to the laws of astrophysics.

wtf does a crappy video of bad images in an eratic order of planets in our solar system have to do with getting to alpha centauri???

[daddyschlong14]

Well considering we've had a probe speeding out of the solar since the 70's and we're not even sure if its outside yet, I'd say its a pretty long way before we get 4 light years away.

the music just forces u to stop the video. this sucks

@personzorz

they detected small rocky planets around gliese 581 which are in the habitable zone, and may contain liquid water.

@WinchesterDelta1

Sort of. The recent discoveries in Gilese 581 are possible because the star is very small, and the planets orbit very close in. Something in the habitable zone of either of the two big Centauri stars (much brighter than a red dwarf) is still pretty far past our capabilities. Additionally, we thus far can only tell anything about the atmospheres or compositions of planets that transit their stars as seen from our point of view, which is a small fraction.
