Can you imagine that? Is it be possible that in our lifetime we could migrate to another planet and colonize it? Oh god, that would be awesome! Maybe I'm getting too far ahead of myself...

Well dang we can only hope some new technology is developed to allow fast space travel... While we're still alive :(

Man, it would be awesome! Even if we just start planning for it it would cause a lot of excitement in the world.

I had the unpleasant thought of "What if space was warped like how the Earth is round?" All the effort getting there just to end up at the same planet...

Well I have no idea if such a thing is possible, but it's a thought that happened.

I wonder if some lackey at an alien listening post orbiting the moon is thinking "GarZelbec! The hairless monkeys have found our home world! Now what?".

It's probably something more akin to ' the probability that there are other earth like planets out there is much higher than we thought. ' and don't forget that 'earth like' in NASA terms is mars-level of habitation.

This is the likely answer and the one I don't want.

I don't recall Mars being referred to as Earth-like. Is this true?

Earth like is a pretty broad term, actually, but that's not the point. According to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earth_analog#Mars, Mars falls under that definition of earth like. So...while it's not a lush, green, water filled world, it falls under the umbrella 'earth like' because it does have a lot of features similar to earth's.

a planet needs a magnetosphere to keep it's atmosphere from blowing away gas giants to suck up asteroids a large evolution driving moon the right tilt, spin essentially another sol in order to have another 'earth'

Alright people, according to Mass Effect, the first alien race we'll meet are the Turians. Get your lube ready, there's going to be a shit ton of chafing.
