Yes, I agree here. Slightly stronger because though the possibility of alien life is entertained, it's not necessarily the common viewpoint that its widespread and will eventually be found in droves (like I see non-carbon based life). On the other hand, I expect fully us to be looking back several hundred years from now wondering how we could have ever thought we were the along lifeform in the universe. But a major scientific accomplishment it will be when it's first discovered, for sure.
