In a little over 20 years we’ve gone from the nine (now eight) planets in our solar system to many thousands. Maybe life of some kind will be found out there in my lifetime.

Don’t book a flight? Dammit Kepler is looking more and more good everyday! Know what I mean? First spaceship there, and I’m on it!!

This all falls under the category of so what? Doing anything about this “find” is soooo far beyond our capabilities now or for any foreseeable future as to render them useless information to be put on the most back burner of back burners. Speed of light is in excess of 186,000 miles per sec. Distances to these possible planets millions and/or billions of light years. The advances in so many areas of science are so far beyond our present situation it doesn’t compare to anything or any situation we have faced before. Inventions are one thing, discoveries are another.
