I have no doubt we could get there, but there's a difference between them being candidates for life-bearing (that conditions make it possible) and actually having good chances of bearing life.
Latest estimates say there should be at least 100 billion planets in our galaxy... and perhaps several times that many.
If one in a thousand is life-bearing, that would be 100 million life-bearing planets...
