It is odd that we should now be neglecting the diamond in search of pebbles (Editorial — “Life elsewhere”, Feb.24). Humans have caused unprecedented damage to the Earth’s ecosystem and there need to be drastic steps to save our planet. These must include concerted efforts to combat climate change. The mission should be to try to make Earth, the only known planet so far to host life, stable and safe. Pouring money into projects on extraterrestrial explorations is not the need of the hour.

How exhilarating it would be if other living forms are found on these newly discovered Earth-like planets. We should not rest till such a search is taken to its logical end. An exciting era of exploration has begun.
