Apparently NASA found a planet very similar to Earth 1400 light years out. Now all we need are FTL drives that can be stuck on explorer drones.

Re: Earth 2
I saw an article on that!Originally posted by MaskedOne View Post
It's right in the Goldielocks Zone of a sun very similar to our own, and the planet and sun are both somewhat (in astronomical terms) older, meaning much opportunity for the rise of not only life, but some sort of civilization.
Let's send a probe RIGHT NOW!Every moment of a life is a horrible tragedy, a slapstick comedy, dark nihilism, golden illumination, or nothing at all; depending on how we write the story we tell ourselves.

Re: Earth 2
I'm thinking more let's figure out how to crack FTL first. It's still 1400 light years out. If we send a probe out then we'll probably have forgotten how to talk to the thing by the time any information comes back. We're talking about well over 3000 year wait there.Originally posted by B. de Corbin View Postlife itself was a lightsaber in his hands; even in the face of treachery and death and hopes gone cold, he burned like a candle in the darkness.

Re: Earth 2
LOL - I know. And the odds are that any probe sent today would be overtaken by something we might send in just a few years before it got there, anyway...Originally posted by MaskedOne View Post
But I'm impatient...
And it would be a lovely excuse to try out an ion propulsion system, of a solar sail...Every moment of a life is a horrible tragedy, a slapstick comedy, dark nihilism, golden illumination, or nothing at all; depending on how we write the story we tell ourselves.

Re: Earth 2
Why are aliens so interested in our butts? Don't they have butts of their own? And why not just phone a proctologist if they want to find out how butts function?Originally posted by anunitu View Post

Re: Earth 2
I want to test those out for something else. Namely, asteroid miningOriginally posted by B. de Corbin View Post
Also vessels to intercept and nudge asteroids into new paths if necessary but that's liable to be a much larger engineering issue.life itself was a lightsaber in his hands; even in the face of treachery and death and hopes gone cold, he burned like a candle in the darkness.
