NASA...Discovers First Earth-Size Planet...

Oh Wow!

Does it look like it could support moslems?

[Don Corleone]

There has to be billions of them out there. Unlike Earth, some may even have intelligent life on them.

There’s a whole lot more than being “Earth-sized” and “in the habitable zone” before one can even hint that such an exoplanet might have any (much less intelligent) life.

But, hey, if it produce a few dozen articles by fifth-column media hacks and convinces some low-information politicians to jack up NASA’s budget by a hundred megabucks, what the heck.

[CharlesOConnell]

There’s also a galactic goldilocks zone necessary for Life to arise.

“Size of a planet and its location around a star are only two out of over a dozen factors that determine whether a planet is habitable. They don’t consider in these news articles whether the system is within the Galactic Habitable Zone.
