NASA's Kepler mission is searching for Earth-like planets by looking for them to cross the face of alien stars.

Sucks I looked up at the sky tonight and spotted an unknowable number of habitable planets only using one eye. Some were only a hundred billion light years away.

Irrelevant discovery. all those habitable planets are so many light years away. It will require a million generations of human beings to survive in a spacecraft to reach them. IOW it is more than impossible. Stick to improving living conditions on earth, the only planet we will ever survive freely.

Turn the telescope on the White Hut and the Annex and one can see a thousand or more traitorous dogs ruining this nation.

Kepler spots 503 new alien planets...and Harry Reid immediately demands they all be granted amnesty.
