THE COSMOS: Kepler seeks to answer: Is anybody out there?
Are we alone? Or is Earth the only planet in the universe that could support life? In 2009, NASA launched a telescope called Kepler to search for Earth-like planets beyond our solar system. So far, more than 800 planets have been confirmed, and astronomers suspect there may be literally hundreds of millions more waiting to be discovered.
A handful of planets even appear to orbit in the "habitable" zone of their star in which water could pool, and life could potentially survive. But the burning question everyone wants to know is: Will we ever really know if anybody else is out there? Barry Petersen talks to scientists working on NASA's Kepler Mission.

GOOGLE: Eric Schmidt on "The New Digital Age" As Executive Chairman of Google, Eric Schmidt is in a prime position to not only forecast the future of technology, but to shape it. He foresees a world of ongoing cyber war; a world where autocratic governments struggle against technologically-empowered citizens; a world where the threat of hacking by countries like China is ever-present.
But he also foresees a world where your smartphone will actively guide you through everyday life, and where you can summon 3-D memories, similar to the Holodeck in "Star Trek."
It's all in a new book Schmidt has co-authored, "The New Digital Age." Correspondent Rita Braver introduces us to Eric Schmidt's vision of the future.

LIBRARY OF CONGRESS: Preserving America for all time
What parts of our culture do we choose to keep and preserve for future generations? That's one of the jobs of the Library of Congress: To preserve the past and present for the future. Martha Teichner take us on a tour of the Library's Thomas Jefferson Building, where you will find some of the 155 million items that are kept for posterity. You'll also meet a photographer engaged in a very special project: Documenting the 50 United States as they exist today, as more and more of the American landscape disappears to time.

LOTTERY: More than a little bit of luck
Bill Geist reports.
SUNDAY PROFILE: Jeremy Irons talks trash
It's weird to see an Oscar-winning actor rooting through trash cans in New York City's nicest neighborhood, but for Jeremy Irons, garbage has become personal. He is producer of a new documentary, "Trashed," which shows us the terrifying possibility of a future world buried in its own garbage.
"I wanted to make a documentary about something which I thought was important and which was curable," he told Tracy Smith. "It's not rocket science."

MARKETING: Flops
"People are always looking for the next big thing, what's new, what's the future, what's different from now," says Jonah Berger, a professor of marketing at the Wharton Business School. But a lot of those "next big things" turn out to be failures. In fact, fewer than 20 percent of new products succeed in the marketplace. Why?
Dean Reynolds visit the New Product Works in Ann Arbor, Mich., which stands as a breathtaking case study of fads and fizzles. Owned by global market research firm GFK, the collection features 120,000 different items -- many of them marketing fiascos -- spanning more than three decades of American pop culture.
