Duh....I’ve seen honest astronomers say stars like ours with planets like ours appear to be extremely rare

Same astronomers who used to say that stars with planets were very rare, or that used to say that our galaxy WAS the universe ?

Aren't we pretty early into the 'earthlike detecting phase' of our technical abilities ?

Even where we do detect 'something' (and think it's a planet), we are basing that on what was there millions or billions of years ago.

Even with that being so, it is only 2/3 of the whole. Without our moon there would be no life on earth. It takes the sun, the earth and the moon!

The Kepler telescope has proved otherwise.
