    So do I. Seven potentially habitable, potentially inhabited planets, all in the same solar system. I can't help but wonder how different things would be here, if in the late 19th or early 20th centuries, we'd discovered proof that both Venus and Mars harbored native races, with civilizations and cultures of their own. Probably just as well that they don't, given humanity's track record. Still an exciting discovery however you look at it. Can't wait for 2018, when the James Webb telescope is launched and starts doing an in-depth analysis of these seven worlds and many, many more.

    Of particular interest is another recently discovered planet orbiting Proxima Centauri, which you probably read about. It's about 1.3 earth masses, within the star's habitable zone, and it's only 4.25 light-years away. In theory, with a herculean effort, and a huge amount of cash, we could get there.
