The Kepler Telescope is awesome

If you're a fan of sci-fi, you have to be a fan of the Kepler Telescope. If any humans are ever going to actually leave Earth permanently and live somewhere else, we'll need to find somewhere to go. Kepler is leading the charge in that search. It's been in orbit for 23 months, and it's already found over 1200 potential exoplanets. That is awesome.
