Thank you for your intelligent post. There are so few on this thread. And yes, pretty cool. We are on the verge of solving two very big mysteries: a) how many habitable planets are there in the galaxy (in rough statistical terms), and b) how life began on earth.
Anybody who doesn't thing those 2 topics are intensely interesting is only using a tiny, tiny fraction of their brain, in my opinion. (Although, I guess for some people, it is, sadly, actually a large fraction of their thinking power.)

Tell that to all of the bloggers that went out and reported on what was happening during the Tsunami, or Katrina, or the Terrorist attacks in Mumbai.
When you've got literally millions of reporters all out there reporting, and almost that many with decently high-end cameras taking decent photos...it sortof becomes unnecessary to throw Dan Rather on a jet.
I'd actually pay to see Dan Rather thrown OFF a jet.
