Stare down five million stars for three years ~ find planets
Telescopes plus rocketry plus materials science plus quantum physics plus a theory of computation equals a good calibration of the frequency of earth like planets by the decades end.
Thats science and technology for you. Finding tiny periodic dips in brightness in a million stars all at once.
Lets see who blinks first.
