I forgot to post this yesterday after it was done uploading... We're going back to the moon 'cuz George says so! It's a promotional NASA trailer for returning to the moon.
Somewhat similarly, a ton of blogs reported today that an extrasolar planet has been found which may roughly match the temperature of Earth and it's only ~20 lightyears away. The process by which extrasolar planets are found seems pretty solid to me (measuring star wobble and whatnot) but no one has explained any process that explains how they're able to tell that it's potentially hospitable. Seems to me like it's just as possible that it's like Venus and pretty inhospitable. NewScientist has an article on the subject.
