  http://abcnews.go.com/GMA/video/universe--7029333 I thought this article was very interesting because, it questions everything that we have been told about space. Is there really another planet out there that could be attainable for humans to live on? Immediately I thought of Malcolm Galdwell's "Blink", and this idea of thin slicing when the question "Could this be the only planet brimming with life in all the cosmos?" was brought up in the video. Astronomers have this gut feeling that there is something out considering space is so big why would it just be us on Earth? Which reminded me of the fake art and how Gladwell stressed the importance of snap judgements and how they are usually correct. Therefore if astronomers believe there is a planet that can sustain life, do you believe them?
