  Note: the bulk of this video is a scientific funding pitch for "Mission Centaur", which is a small satellite proposal to look for planets around just Alpha Centauri A and B. Nothing wrong with that, but this doesn't attempt to be a dispassionate review of Kepler. > Mission Centaur is a Silicon Valley-based nonprofit corporation dedicated to studying Alpha Centauri. We support investigations that advance the state of the art knowledge and technology for exoplanet exploration, the ultimate goal being the discovery and characterization of Earth-like planets around Alpha Centauri. We envision a new way of engaging with science where experts, institutions and the general public can be part of humankind’s most ambitious and transformational quest: the search for life beyond our solar system. http://missioncentaur.org/about/ http://missioncentaur.org/about/
