Planet Kepler-22b found: just like Earth but bigger and no life found yet!

[Reporter]

NASA just found this new planet. It's 2.4 times Earth's size and believed to be habitable for humans. Temperatures on it is 72 degrees F, with lots of water--claimed to be the source of life.

Will Earthly humans flock to it for real estates?

I did not read the article you posted here....yet.

I read a different article online this morning, but there was no, or better yet - there hasnt been - confirmation of Kepler-22b having any evidence of fluid or liquid water.

I saw this article yesterday.

I wonder what happened to finding water on the moon? No more talks of that... Did we or did we not really find water on our moon?

OK. It could have water.

I'm excited to learn > about PK22b; it reminds me of the movie Another Earth which just came out this yr.

But 600 light years away, who's going to get there and when?

What was that movie about? Yes, this report could just be another movie in the making. I can see NASA's executives looking at the giant screen of Kepler with mouths open wide about what it is, how or if humans here will ever get there, etc.

Reporter, its about Earth discovering another Earth: same people, same earth characteristic s, etc. You should really watch it.

This is a bit off topic, but you know that next the outer layer of our aurora is reversing, which may have a drastic effect on the U.S.' electric grid? This may cause electric transformers to get damaged.

Also, either next yr or 2013, depending on who you're talking to, we'll experience the maximum sunspot, meaning Earth's climate is going to crazzzy in the next year or so.

I know right? It'll get crazier, I tell you. Time to stock up on those MRE foods and plenty of water.

[yes]

O yes... I heard about that. It's amazing. With a universe as big as this ...it's impossible that we are the creatures.

My sister and I were talking about that last night. Imagine having friends/family that lives there! The time it'll take to visit! haha

For being vague and beating around the bush about it.
