Anyway; it's my birthday, and it is good to know that the rate of discovery is accelerating and what we've found now in KEPLER-452b provides us with an important improvement in our understanding of a couple of variables in The Drake Equation. And this is really a major discovery! Because it means that Life elsewhere is now far more likely than not. My own personal opinion is that this is sufficient evidence to say: We Are Not Alone in this Galaxy!
