NASA launches search for second Earth

Fox News was the only major T.V. news channel to cover the launch that I seen. To bad. The night time launch coupled with the great camera work when the Rocket Boosters dropped off made for quit a sight. It,s no wonder the public is losing interest in the Space Program when the Major News channels are busy filling the time slots with Political Opinion and News about Hollywood people in trouble with the law.

If you got it, spend it! WTF do we need this kind of money for these days, anyway? We NEED to know useless information like this, in case we can find another planet to relocate our economy to, right? Here's a hint; there are many other Earth like planets out there, all of which are too far away to matter for at least the next ten or twenty years. Go back to your Star Trek re-runs.

Considering some are probably millions of light years away, I'd say even more than that. (if ever)

It never fails to amaze me when people take advantage of all the technological advances made over the last 30 years by the "Dreamers" who watched Star Trek, supported the Space Program, and tried to make life a little better for the next generation, only to have that Generation put them down , and instead pray to the "Mighty God of Ignorance". There is no such thing as Useless Information. Only people with limited skills.

For a second I thought this would be one of those threads about a 2nd Earth directly on the other side of the Sun. This telescope is much more educating and useful then trying to find a planet that is not there.

Why are they looking for a second earth? Do they know something we dont?

Some of you will never be laid.
