They say it's takes 20 years to the light to go there

So with the speed of a modern rocket (approximatly 11500 meters / s) it will take us :

(300000000 / 11500) * 20 = 521739 years to go on that planet

Not to put your hopes down ..

also

"It is estimated to have double Earth's gravity"

Some changes in our metabolism will have to be made there too, imagine yourself in bed with a woman of 60 kg on that planet.. AND THAT YOUR ARE UNDER

I didnt listen to good but they said something between 300-700 years.

could be covered in oceans - and support life.

[Grinwhrl]

Very interesting, hope to learn more about it

[Schmung]

ppfft, cant we just build a wormhole?

:roll:

[General Vivi]

nice find indeed would be even more interesting if there was life on it

[Rick_D]

to touch on the gravity - can't we just set off a few dozen nukes nearby and push it further away from the sun?

if that's not how gravity works, then fuck you let's set off some nukes there anyway.

If we hurry and leave now, we can populate mapcoria.

And by that I mean crash our rocket into the surface scattering our skeletons and dust about. Possibly a 'flag' could survive the crash and do the populating for us.

Sending a bunch of computer nerds with the mission of reproducing... probably not the most brilliant idea

[Grinwhrl]

If the gravity is double: Looks like no Americans can go there ten. They would weigh 600 pounds.

[von*ferret]

Oh SNAP

[dux]

If the gravity is double: Looks like no Americans can go there ten. They would weigh 600 pounds.

HAHA

I don't see the point of looking for new planets we can't even fly to sodding mars yet. We've taken 4 billion years to evolve and we're still dumb as shit.

We are not far from travelling really fast in space. Theres like tons of theories out there. My guess is that in 20-50 years we will have new fuel and propulsion to get us where we want. Much faster and more effective then today.

I like those solar sails.
