Kepler was launched!!! (quote, history)

I am so excited to see what happens here. Previously we were only able to see large gas giant planets, this telescope will be able to detect planets like our own... This is one of the most interesting times for us as humans. I know the probability of life on other planets is 100% but this will make that a visual 100%. Maybe I'm just over excited I don't

know.

You obviously have no idea why I quoted that specific statement.

yeah i guess im stupid ? Why do you bother to post here with your nonsense. This is for ppl interested in the space program. Which is a current event and will go down in history. You wasting my time and anyone elses that might have such an intrest is Stupid. Enjoy being how you are but please, unless you want to say something related to this post you have no reason to post be here. Thanks again.

He isn't "posting nonsense." The probability of something being 100% is itself an oxymoronic statement, because probability isn't definitiveness it's about likelihood. That is just semantics however, if we examine that statement scientifically we'd see it has no basis for it whatsoever as nothing about lifeforms on other planets is one-hundred percent proven.

Well .. I think it's exciting as well

I hope we find some aliens; I really want to see the Catholic Church's response to something like that.

Sleepy Jack you are 100% right and alive. Also with the infinate number of Stars in space that have there own solar systems you would be not only selfish but a fool to think that this is the only planet that harbors life. It just makes sense... Thats of course my take and 99.9 % of scientists out there. Give me about 2 to 3 years and I will tell you that I told you so.

What is the possibility of life other planets? « Ask an Astrobiologist « NASA Astrobiology

Their response would probably be to make sure the aliens aren't using contraceptives.
