IS there an Earth like planet somewhere in else
I heard rumours that scientists found planets with Earth-like climate and environiment... but search took nearly 25-30 years and that planets are very-very far from our native planet.

Ah, thanks for specifition, Bikerman, I was just not sure in my own words 
And I'm to lazy for googling that facts 
Yes, I heard about that planet and there are some other examples of Earth-like planets (like one or two more), as Discovery Science says.

Err...what are you talking about?

Oh, lets go around to the other side of the sun and look! Oh wait... We do that every year.
Or are you referring to the Earth 2 theory, where there is another identical Earth orbiting the sun exactly 180 degrees away, so that the two always have the sun in between them? Not impossible, but very unlikely.

If you believe in the Drake equation, there are 2.3 planets in our galaxy which have intelligent life, and are willing and able to communicate which have not destroyed themselves.
Venus and Mars are believed to have been earth-like very early in their development before a large object hit Mars and the liquid on Venus boiled off into its atmosphere.
As for planets which have the capability for life currently, there are two planets orbiting the red star Gliese 581 - Gliese 581 c and d respectively, which have the possibility to harbour life, although they are both slightly out of their habitable zones - with 581 d considered to be more likely to harbor life than 581 c.

Sice the universe is (probably) close to infinite, its likely that another 'Earth' exists, but chances are its too far away to even be observed in the lifettime of the human race.
But when can we travel fast enough to discover all this
In a universe the size of this, there has to be another planet like ours somewhere
will there be life there? Maybe, Intelligent life? Doubtful

Discovering 'all this' will in all probability not be a matter of traveling at all.
More likely we would construct truly huge antenna arrays in interplanetary space, and discover an Earth-like planet with these enormous telescopes. Barring the possibility of some fluke discovery of easy faster-than-light travel, we'll have the ability to detect and study such places from a distance long before we could ever hope to actually go there.
