When scientists send their spacecraft across the universe, they save fuel by performing “slingshot fly-bys”.

Sheesh. Across the universe? Nothing's been sent across the universe yet. Not even the galaxy, much less the diameter of the solar system.

Its hard to tell who is doing the most damage, global warming alarmists or idiot writers who don’t know what they’re reporting on.

I flinch every time I see the term “Earthlike planet”. In scientific terms Mercury, Venus, and Mars are “earthlike”. Unfortunately “earth mass similar rocky planet” doesn’t quite create the hype the writers are looking for.
