A planet that could support life?

Out of all the articles I've read to blog about, this one definitely shocked and amazed me the most by far. Scientists claim to have found a planet that has an Earth-like temperature, not too hot and not too cold, but most mind-blowing of all, they are 99% sure that the "Goldilocks" planet bears water in it's liquid form. The section explaining that life on another planet doesn't necessarily mean aliens, but could only mean a single cell was complete news to me. I'd always assumed that if there was life on another planet, it would suggest an alien like E.T. However, by the end of reading the article I have to say I was pretty disappointed. The entire time I was reading it, I expected that there was going to be an explanation about somehow reaching the planet or finding out if there was water or life there indefinitely. Unfortunately, there wasn't and I suppose the question asking us if we're alone on Earth remains unanswered.
