I think the techniques will continue to improve and we will eventually find likely Eart type planets and this eventually drive our space industry to develop the technology to get there.
Comments?

I think the day when we get "good" images of these extrasolar planets is a lot closer than we realize. When classrooms have these images on the walls it will spark the minds of the children.
I think actually visiting extrasolar planets is several centuries in the future. On the other hand we could experience great leaps in technology that make it much sooner than we think.

I plan to file a court case stating that Burt's brain must be downloaded into a computer on the grounds it is a National Treasure.

Does anyone have an idea how many light years away the planets in our solar system could be detected with current technology?

Extrasolar Planets: A Matter of Metallicity Metallica really needs to get back to simple album titles or nicknames, like the "Black Album." This "Extrasolar" thing is going to really turn off the kids!

Interesting question. I suggest you ask RadioAstronomer.

Silly me, I thought Neptune and Uranus where gas giants. Good thing this article set me straight </sarcasm>

When we do find an earth-like planet, let's ship all the liberals there!
Seriously, I sometimes wonder if there are some beings on a planet 100 lightyears away wondering if there's someone else out there.

> When we do find an earth-like planet, let's ship all the liberals there! I must forcefully disagree! We should ship the liberals to harsh, inhospitable planets.

I think I will mention Joss Whedon's vision of the future with the evil Alliance (when the U.S. and China merge) enforcing a "union" and subjugation of all inhabited planets -- when the lost hopes and dreams of the Independents (after their defeat at Serenity Valley on the planet Hera) are summed up in a small spaceship called
Firefly.
Keep flyin'

I think he called it "Plan 9".
