Alien Life - In our lifetime?

Well i was HIDEOUSLY bored at work today and during my many journeys around the web i came across an article from some scientist predicting that in the next 50 years or so we COULD come across alien life, mainly in the form of some micro-organism and not neccessarily intelligent life.
What does everyone think about that? Do you think we will come across anything in our lifetimes?
I hope we do, though thinking about it with the technology we have our best bet, within our lifetime, is probably going to be Mars.
Anyway, bit of a different thread .. away from all the politics discuss away

With all the political favours handed to Monsanto et al, it may happen a lot sooner than 50 years.
By that reckoning there must be life out there. But ironically the chances of us finding it, at least anything intelligent are so small it's not worth thinking about.
50 years? Maybe if we stop restricting ourselves in expansion.
I don't think that will happen ever. The next star is 4*10^13 km away from our solar system. As long as men won't get older than 500 years we won't reach the next solar system ever.
