[ExI] kepler study says 8.8e9 earthlike planets

[Tomaz Kristan]

I can't find any direct reference to this now. Currently everybody agrees
that Kepler is unfortunately unable to find free oxygen, but the next
mission will be able to.

Still I remember it. 100 000 stars will be scanned they said and we can
"hope for a free oxygen footprint". Something like that.

Now, wait for TESS!
