News Almsot another earth.

[old.Tohtori]

Lovely piece of news.

Geeky stuff again.

 

[megadave]

Cool. Didn't read it all, how far away is it?

 

[Raven]

20 odd light years, round the corner in galactic terms

Not somewhere that we could ever travel with today's understanding of physics. It would take bending space or a wormhole (which there are theories on) to get there.

 

[old.Tohtori]

Bro just threw a good comment; "Bet, if we DO find another earth, especially conquarable earth, we'd "suddenly" invent hyperdrives."

 

[Overdriven]

Not baaaad. Shame we won't be around to see it all.

Hyperdrives 4tw!

 

[Raven]

Well we already have Ion engines so it isn't really that far off I suppose

 

[pikeh]

Awesome

I'm still a bit annoyed when they say stuff like "it's too hot to support life".
They mean too hot to support HUMAN life.

How do they know what life it could be supporting? maybe some sort of Asbestos based lifeform?! Alright, not a serious example, but hopefully people understand.

 

[old.Tohtori]

Pikeh, good old silicoids from master of orion

Haha

 

[BloodOmen]

Now they just need to figure out how to get all of mankind up there without it taking 1,000,000 years invent better propulsion damn you NASA we wants a new earth to ruin all over again

 

[pikeh]

Well silicoids are immune to pollution so they will be okay!

Just what I was thinking, we find life in places on this planet which most people would consider to "not be able to support life" if it was on another planet. Still, would be cool to have another planet to majorly fuck up, instead of just this one.

 

[Lamp]

Cool. Didn't read it all, how far away is it?

119 trillion miles away

if you could travel at the speed of light it would take you almost 21 years to get there

 

[Raven]

Hmm, I thought nothing escaped a black hole?

I thought they had know about these plants for years. Im sure they have

 

[Raven]

They have but they have always been huge, in most cases bigger than Jupiter.

I meant these specific planets mentioned in the article and im right, they have known about them for years. Maybe they just know a bit more about them.
