The much delayed James Webb Space Telescope will finally launch next month, and one of its missions is to detect alien life on exoplanets. It will do this by scanning wavelengths from the atmosphere for tell-tale signs of metabolic processes. A positive detection SHOULD be a world-changing event for every human alive as it confirms for once and for all that We Are Not Alone, but based on the anti-science shitshow we're living in right now there is gonna be a whole lot of controversy and debate over it.
