Go KEPLER!

Last night, NASA launched KEPLER. A modest beginning of our search for answers to the question, are we alone?

While watching the launch animation in Youtube, I was reminded by Star Trek tagline:
“Space... the Final Frontier. These are the voyages of the starship Enterprise. Its five-year mission: to explore strange new worlds, to seek out new life and new civilizations, to boldly go where no man has gone before.”

We are taking steps in realizing this vision, slowly by slowly, scouring the sky for a slight signal that will prove that we are not alone in this universe.
I am glad and happy to know that we are spending so much time and effort (as well as money) to discover new worlds scattered around our universe.

I believe we are not alone here. Somewhere, someday, we will explore and conquer space and I am 100% sure of it.

Anyway, let’s go back to KEPLER. It is just the beginning. This mission will look for earth-sized planets revolving around several thousand stars. If we will discover much of these earth-liked planets it will be an interesting result for us. It will provide us so much insight and motivation to push forward our dream to conquer space.

Astronomy blogosphere is excited about this mission. They know the importance of this mission, especially on how we create our future action plans in conquering space.

Someday we will launch a starship to visit these earth-sized planets.
