What an Earth 2.0 Would Mean.

From article, "What's an Earth-Like Planet Anyway?"

(Capturing the first image of a planet like ours and seeing it with our eyes will help us begin to characterize its properties and spark a movement to quickly further research. The photograph of Earth 2.0 would be a defining moment in human history and is sure to transform how we see ourselves in the universe.)


Me, "I agree. The positives of finding another Earth would include: more research money for telescopes. More astronomer jobs. More rocket and long distance probe research: to maybe one day actually get a probe out there. All of these things would benefit humanity because it continues our quest to if not find life in our own solar system to find it in another. And maybe colonize it in the far future."
