And now we know why Obama wants to end NASA’s manned space flight missions.. His Marxist dictatorship will need as many slaves as it can find.. He’ll not want ANYONE to leave. We’re STUCK here on Earth.

Now all we have to do is talk to them.

Then where the heck is everybody?

[MAexile]

Excellent! The environuts are always saying we need three extra Earths to keep up with our lifestyles. Now we have plenty!

Seriously though, they are a long way off from confirming any of the probable hits. That number could go way down.

Sweet!

Kepler was a brilliant mission idea that appears to have been very well executed.

Bullcrap. ‘Habitable’ doesn’t mean a bunch of hot Jupiters or pitiful little rocks orbiting flare stars, like we’ve seen of extrasolar planets thus far. There have been NO terrestrial extrasolar planets found, and certainly none in the circumstellar habitable zone of a stable yellow G2 star. ZIP, ZERO, NADA. Perhaps one will be detected, but if you believe astronomers Ward and Brownlee (and I do, read their book “Rare Earth”), Earth is the ONLY planet of its kind in the galaxy, or even the Local Group, or maybe in the entire universe.

Yeah, I have some hope and change to sell you...

People like you have been proven wrong...

Uh...The article is only referring to just our own tiny galaxy...Not the billions of other galaxies throughout the universe.

Only humans that assign high self importance to themselves, with a flat earth beliefs would buy earth is the only planet in the universe that harbors life. I don't subscribe to those dark age ideas.
