"NASA's Kepler mission has doubled the number of known planets outside of our solar system. In what can only be described as a "bonanza", 715 new planets have been reported thanks to the Kepler space telescope's planet-hunting mission. Using a new method for verifying potential planets led to the volume of new discoveries from Kepler, which aims to help humans search for other worlds that may be like Earth."

Oh no, waiting is what you will be doing if you send the probes now. Better to send them later, because they will probably go much faster, either because we have more resources, or because we've discovered more physics.

"More physics". Excellent.
Look over there! Some physics laying in that bush!
