262 of them are classified as potentially habitable. Wow, that's impressive. For those who haven't heard of this mission, the Kepler telescope is a space telescope that's completely dedicated to finding planets around other stars. It's been staring at the same patch of sky for almost 4 years now, recording dips of light caused by planets passing in front of their stars.

Too bad they're all in unreachable distances until we discover a FTL drive.

Ah, thanks, couldn't figure out why it wasn't working.

Does no one use the preview button?

OT: That is pretty cool, but sadly it's unlikely we'll ever get to go to those planets.

"Hey guys, guess what. There is other life in the universe!!!"

"Cool, so when do we get to meet them."

"Next century maybe?"

Oh yeah, since somebody does not believe what YOU believe; that makes us vapid...
I cannot grasp that what you call "Something happened to nothing, and that nothing became something, and it was smaller than than a period."

If I haven't fired you yet, it's because I'm still firing your mom in bed.

Over 15? That's not really impressive, now if it were 15,000, that'd be pretty awesome.
