One of the most awesome achievements of human civilisation is the ability to create wonderful technologies that help us in every possible way. Look at the image below. We can not still see the planet itself, but with the help of the telescopes and detectors we can study remote planets orbiting other stars. Isn't it amazing?!
This is the latest announced exoplanet Kepler-78b (http://apod.nasa.gov/apod/ap131105.html) - hot volcanic Earth-size planet orbiting the star at the orbit 40 times close to the star than Mercury to the Sun. It will take a while to find and study the planet just like our own old mother Earth (sounds more like Russian expression :) , but we will do it.
We should. Otherwise we will extinct. This is evolution like you it or not.
P.S. small rhetorical question..how often do we look at the stars and dream of undiscovered new world, fascinating world?
