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

Kepler is still scheduled to make the first large-scale survey of stars for Earth-sized planets (although, if we're lucky, Earth-based telescopes and COROT may find a few earlier). SIM -- whenever it flies -- will make the first methodical search for such planets of nearby stars; but only TPF will be able to gather meaningful data on their atmospheric composition -- and TPF is clearly still a long way away, even if its funding problems clear up.
