Kind of related to the Fermi Paradox discussion. Well, at least, planet finders give us some baseline for the Drake equation -- some values to plug-in (those with the other unknowns, what does this matter?) -- and an idea of what's out there in terms of planets. And, of course, other missions like COROT and terrestrial efforts still continue.
