The crazy thing is, is that if we even find the smallest bit of life (fx bacterial life), it would still be a massive deal as life as we know it could evolve into almost anything.

Whenever it is, I hope I'm alive to see it.

Imagine aliens making polls like this on MeTube or whatever their version is called, speculating whether or not we exist not knowing were thinking the same thing

This is like asking "when are you going to win the lottery?" It could be within any of these time frames, but it is entirely an aspect of chance

The closest things we have to aliens are the bacterias that was born in spacecrafts. They weren't at earth when they were born.

The closest things we have to aliens are this tardigrades that got left on the moon after a failed mission. They could be dead, but tardigrades are tough as hell, so they could be alive and chillin.

Sadly humanity as a whole can't seem to pull its head from its ass long enough to focus on working together to make such a discovery :(

How intriguing. You may not know it yet but there's more branches in the tree of life than what the few branches discovered on Earth so far, the most unique thing about Earth it's life itself, but the fact that there's more than two branches of life inhabiting it. Most have a maximum of two.

Alien life will be utterly unrecognisable. Eyes, limbs, a head are all earth features. Aliens could be slime that thrives in a 300 degrees atmosphere of sulfuric acid.
