You people are just spoiled.
Some time ago, Isaac Asimov wrote a story involving a robot that had reasoned out a method of determining where extrasolar planets could be found, but was destroyed before that knowledge could be revealed.
At the time, no one had any idea how to even determine if any other stars had planets. Now we're discovering them by the hundreds, and are capable of discerning ridiculous levels of details about them, given how far away they are.

Didn't like the narrating, but otherwise, great video.
