A U.S. spacecraft toting the biggest camera ever will be launched next month to scour our region of the Milky Way galaxy for warm, rocky planets like Earth that may host life, NASA said on Thursday. The Kepler spacecraft is scheduled to spend 3-1/2 years looking at more than 100,000 stars similar to our sun, seeking evidence of planets similar in size and composition to Earth. The Kepler launch is scheduled aboard a Delta II rocket on March 5, 2008 from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station.
Well, here goes another launch! Another hole in the ozone layer and another few million dollars spent to find out if there is life on another planet. If so, it certainly won't be in the Milky Way galaxy, thats already been proven. If they do find similar circumstances between planets and near by suns in other far away galaxies, how many light years will it take to get there? Let's take care of this planet by not creating additional holes in our ozone layer.
