New Earths

Scientific American reports that "The most detailed survey yet of planets orbiting nearby stars indicates that a full 30 percent of them may harbor jumbo versions of our own planet."

As long as we (as a race) get to build that 'Beam me up, Scotty!' - or in this case 'beam me over there' machine -- in time -- there's no need to lose sleep over further messing up this Earth.

There's always the next one...!

Ps: of course, closer - in many ways - solution is Mars, with newly discovered water and fertile soil (updated, 28th June)
