Thankfully there was no good reason to sabotage the Kepler mission, as
having existed with the OCO mission.

According to Wikipedia, in addition to our heading towards Sirius at
7.6 km/s, seems we’re also headed towards “Cygni A” at 64 km/s, and
it’s only 11.4 ly distant as is. A large red dwarf with likely
planets is what the spendy Kepler mission is going to catalog the
obvious, that other stars accommodate planets. “61 Cygni” may have a
large outer planet with a 7.5 year orbit. The smaller “Cygni B” could
also have planets, just like a much larger version of Jupiter would
have moons. Eventually we’ll get to within 9 ly of “Cygni A/B”.

Our Selene L1 along with an artificial shade would have been an ideal
location for such observations as of 4+ decades ago. According to our
Apollo missions, our Selene/moon L1 is quite passive, not the least
bit toasty or receiving any kind of X-ray or gamma from our Selene/
moon. (must be the unusually high vacuum of 1e-181e-21 bar)

But I don't see anything about Kepler on that -- only endless
blathering about somebody trying to catch a plane.

Doonesbury is running a satire on Twitter at present --
Roland putting out endless mini-updates on the trivia of his
life, in the hope that he will attract some fans.

As for Kepler, that's nice and I will wait till some real
data is posted somewhere.

our own) are a wee bit more complicated then that.

much larger version of Jupiter would have moons as possibly larger
than Earth. Eventually we’ll get to within 9 ly of “Cygni A/B”, or
rather “Cygni A/B” is coming towards us and Sirius at the same time.

bit toasty or receiving any kind of unusual X-ray or gamma from our
naked Selene/moon. (must be the unusually high vacuum of 1e-181e-21
