Wouldn't Heinlein love to be here listening to these reports?
Ehhh, perhaps not.
He, with a rich story telling ability, did just fine as it was.

NASA sees distant planets that seem ideal for life
WASHINGTON (AP) - NASA's planet-hunting telescope has discovered two planets
that seem like ideal places for some sort of life to flourish. And they are
just the right size and in just the right place.

UW astronomer finds planet that may hold life
The planets are slightly wider than Earth, but not too big. Kepler-62-e is a
bit toasty, like a Hawaiian world and Kepler-62-f is a bit nippy, more
Alaskan.

Heh heh.

In Toronto we are being inundated by adverts for a
smallish airline called Porter. They are trying to
get the city to let them fly jet aircraft out of the
city airport on Toronto Island. It would be a big
change for the city, and would require significantly
extending the runway.

I venture no opinion since I don't live close by (so
my notions about airport noise are not important) and
I've never flown from that airport. Not my issue.

Anyway, the first web page I read the news about
the new habitable planets was a Toronto based news
service. And the advert beside the new planet page?

Porter flies to even more destinations.
