nasa says its kepler telescope has discovered a bonanza of 715 new worlds outside our own solar system. a planet terry scientist called the discovery, quote, the mother lode. adding we almost doubled just today the number of planets known to humanity. there go my taxes. some of the planets are inhabitable where it is not too cold and too hot. people are wondering what could the worlds be like? we did our own investigation. here is a look at the worlds and their inhabitants. >> new world! >> that's exciting. i want to thank nasa for helping us with that video. welcome to the show. >> thank you very much. >> it is a pleasure having you here. i am excited, kind of, about the idea of alternative universes. i often wonder does this pose moral quandries for earth? >> it depends on the relationship you want to establish with these other planets. do we want to dominate them? do we want to learn from them? basically do we want to share our love with them? are they nutritious? >> exactly my point. finally somebody speaks my language. what happens if we discover that they are delicious? >> first
