October 1, 201015 yr tl;dr I hope we find another type of intelligent life there. Personally, I think any kind of "aliens" out there might just be more humans.
October 1, 201015 yr Yay! a new planet that NASA can waste billions of dollars to study! Now thats the spirit
October 1, 201015 yr So. This is our replacement for Pluto? A planet with only an artists impression and some shoddy evidence to go by... And it doesnt even have an orbit?
October 1, 201015 yr Would someone care to turn up the heat? It sure is cOLD around here. Would that person also go get some more bread for me? Mine is full of mOLD.
October 1, 201015 yr "...they consider the planet close, JUST 20 lightyears away" *facepalm* Excuse me but since WHEN is THAT close?! "...traveling at about 38,000 mph would take about 353,000 years" Well anyway... I don't see HOW we would ever really know if there is intelligent life there
October 2, 201015 yr Author "...they consider the planet close, JUST 20 lightyears away" *facepalm* Excuse me but since WHEN is THAT close?! "...traveling at about 38,000 mph would take about 353,000 years" its 'close' because with the technology we have now is more than capable of going that far and beyond that distance i may not be a rocket scientist but its more than possible.
October 2, 201015 yr "...they consider the planet close, JUST 20 lightyears away" *facepalm* Excuse me but since WHEN is THAT close?! "...traveling at about 38,000 mph would take about 353,000 years" its 'close' because with the technology we have now is more than capable of going that far and beyond that distance i may not be a rocket scientist but its more than possible. we can easily make it that far. The problem is whether human beings will even be here by the time that rocket makes it to that planet. A cool thing that happens often in SciFi is when someone receives a transmission from an alien race that appears recent, but the transmission was sent millions of years ago and that species is long gone. The same thing could happen with us in this case.
October 2, 201015 yr It looks...fake. thats because it's just an artist's impression "...they consider the planet close, JUST 20 lightyears away" *facepalm* Excuse me but since WHEN is THAT close?! "...traveling at about 38,000 mph would take about 353,000 years" Well anyway... I don't see HOW we would ever really know if there is intelligent life there I agree tl;dr I hope we find another type of intelligent life there. Personally, I think any kind of "aliens" out there might just be more humans. well i believe anything is possible. it could be possible that earth was a great civilisation and managed to spread to other planets, then something happened on earth which wiped technology and history. not likely, but just as possible as aliens existing
