    believe it’s the only way to find out if there is, or ever has been , life on this planet.
    They will explore the possibility of living there. So people may go there to live one
    day!

    B...................................................
    Scientists say that in the future people will live longer. Incurable diseases will be
    cured and ‘bad’ genes will probably be replaced. With healthier lifestyles and better
    medical care the average person will live to be 100 instead of 70 (for men) or 75 (for
    women) like today. Anti-ageing pills will also be invented to help people live longer.
