Very good times to live in. In 10 short years, we've gone from a dozen planets to well over 400. We've also found tons of odd/unique/cool planets as well. I'd imagine that by the end of the next 10, we'll be in the thousands, and in the dozens or even hundreds for goldilocks planets. By the way: There are more planets in Gliese that are potentially habitable. This is just the best candidate we know of.
Back from the dead, I'm afraid.
