So, Phil, you have a very good memory. :)

There's a link through that MSNBC article to Space.com on Kepler that states the launch date at 2006. Just did a google search and most Kepler mission news shows the launch date at 'sometime in 2007' or 'launch date to be determined'.

In addition to searching for other terra firmas/ocean worlds, this astrobiology explorer may come in handy: ABE

Best,

Marcia
