And it's only 150 light years away! We can get there in, what, a month at Warp 9? What're we waiting for?

Yes, I know we've known about gas giants for years now...

And if your a major caracter you could do it in a single ad break (unless of course you've set the interphase intermix the wrong way, then it would only take 40 minutes or so)

I can't wait untill the Terrestrial Planet Finder is launched. It's a series of space telescopes equipped with tech. that can lower a star's glare by a factor of one-hundred-thousand allowing Earth-sized planets to be seen. I heard that it's supposed to launch at 2015 or so. I can't wait!
