Reading the article and the way the Kepler prob works, it will take a few more years before the more likley habotable planets are detected,. This is beccause the more habitable planets are arth distace from their stars, and eclipse their star but once a year.Kepler needs two such eclipses to notice.

Most of the early data is from planets close to their stars, whipping around them rather quickly, and providing multiple eclipses.

Nasa just wants to find a Muslim planet anyway, thats the PR, maybe Dune or a similar planet.We can send them all off
ASAP.

Let's pick one for the commies, pack them up into giant space-projects welfare ships, and send them on a one way trip. They can then run each others lives without protest and preserve their new planet in its pristine condition. A real workers (slackers) utopia.

They won't make it halfway before some of them decide to riot and burn their own living quarters in protest.

Ah, what a beautiful thought.

I can't believe that NASA is wasting money like this on something that has nothing to do with its primary mission.

Seriously, has this made even one muslim feel better about themselves?

For interstellar travel of distances less than 10 light years,
Amtrak's Space Train is more fuel efficient than a starship, yet more spacious and comfortable than your personal capsule.

I doubt there is life as we know anywhere else in the universe.

The Copernican principle is false.

The ET’s are going to love us. Brining more trailer trash from Earth to one of their neighborhoods.

There are 100-billion stars in the Milky Way, some galaxies have over a trillion, and there are at least that many galaxies in the universe.

Of course there is other intelligent life in the universe, but we'll never find them, and they'll never find us.

Just make sure there's no Dr. Smith stowing away on your ship, and you should be ok.
