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.

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.

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

I would never doubt that there are multitudes of habitable planets in the far reaches of space.

God intended for man to multiply and to inhabit the earth now, and space in the future.

But man in rebellion against God, or disbelief of God's word will not get much further than he has already.

God will inhabit the universe with His own children, "replicas," if you will, of His Dear Son, Jesus Christ, in glorified bodies.

Isaiah said, ". . . . of the INCREASE of his kingdom, and of peace there shall be no end."

That His kingdom should have no end is obvious.

But the INCREASE, as well, of His kingdom shall have no end. It will keep on expanding.

So....”habitable” = “similar-sized”?

Science reporters are even dumber than political reporters.

I'm no scientist, but it seems distance is the problem.

The image is a (relatively) very close 3,000 light years a way, about 18 trillion miles.

Even if we traveled the speed of light, the difference between what we see now and when we got there would be 6,000 years.

But I'm optimistic that one day, we'll learn how to warp space.
Maybe you could work on that.
