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".

Editor's's note: According to multiple sources, Kepler has not found anything "new". However it has successfully detected at least one previously discovered substellar object circling another star. In other words, this amazing little spacecraft works! http://www.spaceref.com/news/viewpr.html?pid=28885 Craig |

That is not entirely true. Ok, Mr Inside Knowledge, which part of that previous post isn't "entirely true"? -------------------- |

Ok, Mr Inside Knowledge, which part of that previous post isn't "entirely true"? Is it Friday already?... I know nothing...but we'll have new articles at BtC on the 6th. I have the feeling that Hungry4info can keep a little bit of the pessimism after the conference... -------------------- "Ride, boldly ride," The shade replied, "If you seek for Eldorado!"
