There are planets everywhere, most stars have planets and just as many more planets lurk between stars. That's what I think at this moment. There's a lot of earthsize planets of similar composition, but no earthlike planets. Planetary engineers have quite a job ahead getting the subdivisions ready.

If most stars have planets and there are around 200 billion stars( I think thats what Ive heard) in this galaxy alone the odds are there are some worlds with oxygen/nitrogen atmospheres and plantlife( at least I don't think an earthtype world is that improbable).

Especially if they have to neutron bomb the place first, as a form of "fumigation".

I admit to ignorance on this, but how can we tell (given the limitations of our telescopes)that the planets have an earthlike composition? Or is this largely a deduction? I can understand that we can gather information about stars merely by studying the light... But can we actually "see" other planets light years away?
