Wrong. I was taught, in England, to use one space after a comma and two after a full stop.
Bizarrely, there are retards who put a space before. How shit is that ?

Suammery says three, but doesn't bother to state their names or job titles.
The one name mentioned is Juniper Downs. I can't tell if this is one of the execs who is somehow more important that the other two, the host/moderator of the conference, or a community for discerning semi-independent folks in their twilight years.

NASA's Planet-Hunting Kepler Space Telescope Is Running Out of Fuel (mashable.com) 84
Charlie Sobeck, the system engineer for the Kepler space telescope mission, said in a NASA statement that Kepler is running low on gas. According to Sobekc, it only has "several months" before it reaches the end of the its life. Mashable reports: NASA's Kepler spacecraft has been peering deep into the Milky Way galaxy for nearly a decade. It has spotted over 2,500 confirmed planets orbiting distant stars, and over 2,500 more possible worlds are waiting to be confirmed. Thirty of these confirmed planets live inside their host stars' habitable zones, places where liquid water could exist like it does on Earth. NASA placed the Kepler telescope 94 million miles away from Earth, in an orbit around the sun. This way, Earth's gravity and reflected light don't interfere with Kepler's precise measurements of distant planets. Out there, in the void, it's extremely unlikely that Kepler will become a threatening piece of space junk that could pose collision hazards to other satellites. Although Kepler will soon be spent and left to its long, lonely orbit in space, the spacecraft will soon be replaced by another exoplanet-hunting space telescope, NASA's Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS). TESS is set to launch into space on April 16.

Before any amateur grammarians spout up, yes, "a thirty pound prize" or "a twenty pound note" are correct, but that's not the construction here.
