Wonderful

Seems a future challenge would be to find which stars DON'T have planets rather than which do.

Be amazing to find that in all this time we've been wondering if theirs life out there that we've had habitable worlds right next to us all along!

Indeed, they've already found 854 confirmed planets, that figure could be in the thousands or tens of thousands by the time I reach 50 (29 years from now).

I reckon aliens have already visited, there's normally a couple on Big Brother every year!

Aliens shun our planet because we play cricket. Very bad form, that!
