Forums - General - NASA announced the discovery of a A Habitable Planet.

But... if they don't know what it's made of they can't know if it's habitable, right?

Edit: Also, the picture is just a drawing of what the planet may look like.

Just need a Mass Relay and we'll be there.



Just more Sci-Fi Horror movie bullshit.

I can hear the well-meaning but overzealous astrophysicist that wants to travel there right now. He dies third to last of course after he finally breaks down from the guilt.

i wonder if there is life. not even in the sense of civilization. just living creatures. i find the possibility so exciting even though we shall never know what they taste like.

Who cares what some godless chicken tastes like.



Just a wee bit too far to travel to unfortunately. 



All of this, of course, is just my opinion.

Now all we need to do is create a ship that can travel 600x the speed of light and we can get there in a year!

 

For that all we need is an infinite amount of energy/hope relativity is wrong. It's almost too easy.

As for the planet, I'm not getting excited. It's considerably larger than the Earth and there are factors at play that we have no idea about (environment, axial tilt, etc) . To say it habitable is a stretch. This will be Gliese 581d all over again.


erm no. Special relativity would make it possible to reach the planet within a lifetime...time dilation means the time will move slower on a fast moving spaceship. Problem is that time on earth would be thousands of years ahead by the time you come back.

Me too. I hope they allow me to bring my 3DS though. I need to continue my cups when I have spare time after reaching the destination.
