If there is any chance of life in another planet?

I remember one of the scientific fiction I have studied in graduate level H.G Wells "War of the Worlds". It's about the red planet Mars and aliens. Now a days scientists are experimenting with modern advanced techniques to find life in other planet.
We get more and more clear images of Mars, Pluto , different stars etc. They claim water in different planets. Also gossips and rumors of flying soccer and different frequency messages from other planets or stars.
If it pure imagination or there any chances of life friendly planets? Do you believe in time travelling What's your valuable opinions?

I beleive so! Their are soo many galaxies and black holes with many more universes! I doubt we are the only planet capable of having all kinds of gods creations

Sure, depending on how you want to define "life", that is. I think it is very reasonable to think we will find life, right here in our own solar system in fact. The deeper soil on Mars may well harbor microbial life. The oceans on Europa might also contain microbial, or even very simple multi-celled life.
Complex life, intelligent life and civilizations are probably out there somewhere, but are so rare that the likelihood of us finding it might as well be zero. An intelligent civilization requires a whole metric crap-ton of finicky conditions. You need a planet that has a stable orbit and rotation, to provide stable temperature and climate. You need the ability of the planet's atmosphere to sustain fire (the only one we know of is Earth). You need an abundance of metal if you want to evolve past the stone age. You need just the right sort of star. You need a magnetic field to protect life from cosmic and solar radiation. You need a planet that has not had a major catastrophe (asteroid/comet strike, too near a supernova or gamma ray burst, etc) for a very long period.
Then there is the time and distance factor. There could very well have been such a planet in our galactic neighborhood at some point. But it could have come and gone a billion years ago and we would never have even known they existed. Or there could be one out there now, but the distance is so insanely far that they might as well not exist to us.
We are most likely several hundred years from interstellar travel, barring the discovery of some unforeseen loophole in physics with a practical way to take advantage of it. I think we should be looking in our own back yard right now. Just the discovery of bacteria on Mars would be the most profound discovery in human history. It's implications cannot be discounted. It is still life, on another world besides earth. This alone would change human philosophy, religion, our perspective of our position in the cosmos. This I believe will happen in our life time.

I wish all this is true, I would like to know much more things about that.
If not us our next generation will get chance to rock the other planets.
