This NASA Discovery mission is to be launched in June 2008 and will search for Earth-size and smaller planets. Launch was originally scheduled in 2007 but delayed by 8 months due to "funding constraints".

If my time zone doesn't fail me there will be within 30 minutes (1 p.m. EST) a Kepler Mission Pre-Launch Science Briefing at NASATV.
EDITED: Speaking of hours help me here (it's always the same thing with every event...), the launch will take place in my GMT time on Saturday 03:49:57AM? Correct? Or not?...  EDITED: Stu just made me a very happy man... http://countdown.ksc.nasa.gov/elv/ -------------------- "Ride, boldly ride," The shade replied, "If you seek for Eldorado!"
