If live does exist outside of Earth's boundaries, then we will find it and it will be a huge news story for about a week. Then, when the public gets tired of staring at the same single-celled organisms we'd most likely find over and over, they'd flip the channel to see Janet Jackson's left breast exposed.
What I think would be interesting is if we found life on another planet that was not only structurally different from life on Earth, but also something out there like being silicon-based instead of carbon-based as we are, or any other scenario previously left to the arena of science fiction. The possibilities that studying these oraganisms would lead to would be boundless.
