Maybe interstellar space travel is as inevitably impractical as it looks at first glance.
Maybe astronomy is particularly rare--either the senses to detect astronomical radiation, or an atmosphere transparent to it (imagine life in Europa's ocean), or the actual interest to care about specks in the sky is just not as obviously common as we assume.
All that aside, it's cool to see that the habitable-zone, terrestrial-mass planets are appearing as expected.
