The requirements and possibilities of detecting earthlike planets around other stars is reviewed with attention given to the need for measurements with high signal/noise ratios. A set of potential objects is given, and the most favorable stars for initial search are the nearest examples of objects that are not in intermediate separation binaries. The telescope/inteferometer for the search requires optics with a double null with applications in the 0.2-0.1 arcsec configuration, and the moon is an attractive site for conducting the search successfully.
