No word on HOW he'll restore them, though -- or how much. |

Yes, but all the planets GAIA discovers will be giant ones -- its astrometric sensitivity for individual targets is only a very small fraction of SIM's, and even SIM will be limited to detecting planets with 2 or 3 times more mass than earth's. (But then, GAIA's function is radically different -- it is supposed to astrometrically map something like a BILLION objects, while SIM will focus with much greater sensitivity on a far smaller set.)
