If such intelligent life is capable of receiving radio then they probably would transmit it too, which would have been been picked up by now. I don't think anyone is expecting to find any type of intelligent life on these planets.

I really hope such a discovery is made in my lifetime. Given the conditions that we've seen life thrive in it's only a matter of time before we discover it. Hopefully that's what Europa as well as a couple other moons of Jupiter and Saturn have in store for us.

Thank you for this AMA. How far off do you think we are from being able to study the atmospheres of distant exoplanets for signs of a biosphere or artificial emissions?
