They are definitely getting better at it.
How many are Earth-sized in the habital zone of a sunlike star?
The real question with this administration is whether the contraction “we’re” means “we are” or “we were”.
Yeah, let’s just see if they get the proper funding for it. Sounds like the Trump administration is de-funding all of the pure sciences any chance they get.
And I’d imagine the new Vera Rubin telescope will find quite a few more, even if that’s not its primary mission.
Hopefully, 3.5 years later, that will be true.
Still waiting for us to enter the actual exploring chapter. Elite Dangerous has ruined my dreams :c
