My first attempt to fly was when I fell off the roof in Tucson Az watching the meteorite shower in Oct-Nov (forget the name--it happens every year and is spectacular) - I flapped once but I had enough time before I landed to realize I wasn't getting anywhere but down and hoped I didn't land on the cactus. Thank gawd for a grass landing, a hurt ego (the whole neighborhood was on their roofs too) and some more tequila to forget the flight. I read the lady who fell 33,000 feet had something like 82 seconds to think about (I would imagine) everything. here is a great link and pdf file to download for a basic premise of finding other planets like this one.... "Remote Sensing of Planetary Properties and Biosignatures on Extrasolar Terrestrial Planets," liebertpub.com Its 29 pages long, factual, charts and many questions and (my opinion) shows the uniqueness of this planet and how difficult to find a similar one "out there" -- maybe we'll have better luck when one from out there lands here and tells us all about it.
