This is my new "It's a beer." Whenever anyone attempts to prevent
me from getting x, I will say "When you're asking the greatest
question ever, you need x." It worked for this guy. Only he is
asking the greatest question ever. But still. I'm too cool for
silica clouds, baby.

As early as 2011, NASA hopes to launch what may be the most ambitious
telescope ever conceived: the Terrestrial Planet Finder. Scientists hope it can be

system. "When you're asking the greatest question ever, you need a great
telescope," says Charles Beichman, project scientist for the telescope.
