Holy Carp. I've let those numbers get away from me again.

I did catch some info about how we're not just finding hot Jupiters now, and actually finding planets closer to the size of Terra.

Not just in my lifetime, but just in the last decade has humanity's view of the universe changed so much.

Lots of data to plug into Drake's equation.
