Thanks, Joe - it's a good read. I didn't post comments at DesNews but I enjoyed reading the blog and the comments that followed. I'm not surprised at all by the plethora of worlds being discovered these days. Since I was a child I always thought they would be there (and not because of my LDS faith.) As someone else wrote, it is indeed an exciting time to be alive. And remember, you're in Utah. If you know how NOT to provoke a religious debate, please let me know.

Sometimes I think I've got a really interesting subject and I get no responses at all, which makes me feel bad. Then there's this one. I sure didn't want to start any religious debate.

Interesting to that so many people with such strong opinions hide behind pseudonyms.
Also I think it says something that our local papers went with wire stories of the event and the only local coverage was your excellent blog. Sigh...
