That is, without a doubt, the most annoying narrator I've ever heard.

Ever.

A layman might sit through it but anyone who knows about Kepler and our current study of exoplanets could skip the video and not miss anything other than the worst narration in history.

I think we should start NOW designing and building a Hubble-type observatory that we launch into space and into the void like we did with the Voyagers. Every so often it would look back at Earth's transits. We could learn so much more if we knew what we were looking for.

Agreed. Most ... annoying ... narration ... ever. He sounded like a hyperactive Alvin breathing helium.

Lol....Good video but the guy needs practice on his voice. Of course with my nasal Texas twang...

Actually that’s one of the more interesting ideas I’ve heard in a while. We know what’s here but not what it looks like from a distance.

That's a difficult if not annoying accent for an American. North of England or perhaps Scottish?

Oh, BTW, I never tire of watching a cool launch!
