Exoplanets

Exoplanets are planets that resemble earth in their size and location in the habitability sweet spot (ie they orbit at an earth-like distance from their star). I dont beleive they are actually finding the planet so much as mathematically calculating a high probability there is a planet there based on gravity's pull on other things in the area..its very speculative but it gives people hope.

Quotes

At a certain stage the realization strikes through that one must either live outside of society's bonds or die of absolute boredom. There is no future or freedom in the circumscribed life and the only other life is complete rejection of the rules. There is no longer room for the soldier of fortune or the gentleman adventurer who can live both within and outside of society. Today it is all or nothing. To save my own sanity I chose the nothing.
