David Charbonneau is probably a long lost relative of Toussaint Charbonneau - the guy who bought Sacajawea.

A light year is 9 Trillion Miles...and if this thing is 40 light years away.....its NOT NEAR BY IN LAYMAN’S Terms. Kids in the back of the spaceship; "Are we there yet? Are we there yet?!"

At the rate this administration is spending, we’ll be able to walk there in a year or two over a path of strung-out dollar bills!

Using 186,000 miles per second - you’re correct. Unfortunately I already committed the 9 trillion miles figure to memory ... arghh! ;-)

E-”Shouldn’t that be ‘bad-bye’?”
J-”What? No.”
E-”Does he live underwater? Is he black?”
They’re excited they found this planet that ‘may’ be earthlike 9 trillion light years away? It’s hot and gassy? THAT must be Gore’s fortress of solitude.

...major breakthrough in humanity's search for life on other planets. huh? The only "breakthrough" possible in a random search like this is actually finding life on other planets. We're no nearer to finding it that we were before this discovery.
Don't get me wrong--this is cool. But it's not a "major breakthrough".
