NASA Announcement - Kepler Telescope New Discoveries
Also if you look into the reply we got from the Arecibo Message it seems we are looking for life in the wrong way. We are sending messages out into space on a "radio frequency" that is basically archaic to other species. If we truly want to find life we are going to have to develop a better way of contacting and communicating with that life.
Siden note but just tried to access kepler.nasa.gov & its down; pinged & used isitdownrightnow and no response. Hopefully due to high traffic???
Nothing gets me more stoked then people learning :)
If we discover ANY (intelligent or non) type of life on a place such as Kepler452b the history of humanity will NEVER BE THE SAME... And that gives me a boner.
Someone needs to figure out this propulsion thing in the next couple hundred years so we can send something. It would take no less than 2800 years to get any information but hey! might as well give it a try.

Just to put the distance in perspective, it's 8.5*10^15 miles away. That's 8.5 quadrillion miles. You would have to circle the earth about 358 billion times to reach that distance.

Sounds a little more like some people fucking around making crop circles
