Yeah they'll be getting Ice, Ice, Baby just about now.

Ok scientists, you discovered a survivable planet. Now where is our functional teleporters so we can get there within our lifetime?

If I had to choose between exploring primeval Earth and colonising a planet far away, I'd choose the former. Frickin' dinosaurs!
lol 340 pounds huh
Sweet can't wait to get me some:

Fuck that - Extra-terrestrial planets are the shit.
Right now the Gliesians are posting on Pacefunch about a habitable planet discovered 20 light years away, making terrible jokes, and complaining about how the gravity is too light to actually support life
We've known about Gleise 581d for quite a while.
So is there life on this planet? We should send some kind of robot machines to bring back alien vegetation.

Taking plants from one country to another on Earth can fuck everything up, I don't think we should risk bringing back alien plants if there are any.

Best God-damn TV-Show mankind ever had, may it rest in peace.
Frigging hypocrites and overtly politically-correct idiots.
Wasn't there another Gliese planet found a while back that was said to be in the "goldilocks" zone, this sounds like the exact one.
[QUOTE=Binladen34;29891909]A normal space shuttle travels at 20,000 MPH. That's [I]WHILE IT'S LEAVING THE ATMOSPHERE[/I] which is usually pretty damn tough since gravity wants you down here. If you continue through space with thrusters engaged constantly, your speed will multiply because no friction and gravity holding you down. Essentially, you could reach a couple hundred thousand miles per hour after a few days\weeks of constant thrust.[/QUOTE]
So let's say you manage to accelerate to 300k miles per hour. It'd still take you around 44 000 years to do the trip.

I wonder if there are aliens on Gliese 581d wondering if there is other life in the universe, too.

It is impossible to transfer information faster then the speed of light (as derived by special relativity). Without sometime such as a wormhole, which we haven't even found one yet. If they DID exist and we could create one good luck getting to the other side alive, there are quite a few predictions where wormholes could exist, some require more energy imaginable. Short short story is: ain't going to happen in your lifetime. However, faster then light travel (can be put as timetravel is allowed under general relativity in circumstances such as a wormhole).
What about earth? Wasn't it the first habitable planet?
[QUOTE=Intoxicated Spy;29891464]That is very close. The galaxy is about 20 billion light years across or so.[/QUOTE]
Ahem, the galactic supercluster, maybe.
Did you guys know that we sent a radio signal to Gliese a couple of years ago, it'll reach there 2029
This planet has over twice the gravity of earth.
It may be tidally locked to it's star.
It only gets 30% of the sunlight we enjoy on Earth,
but we're hoping it has large bodies of water.
:foxnews: New Earth discovered! :foxnews:
One of my greatest fantasies regarding life on other planets [sp]minus the part where we all become sex slaves for the aliens[/sp] is that if Gliese is 20 light years away, and if there is a civilization on that planet, they may be able to receive radio broadcasts about the Gulf War.
One of the realities of it though is that we're not receiving any interference from their civilization had they used radio technology similar to ours 20 years ago.
hate to be any human that might ever(unlikely) travel to this planet, they'd have to train with twice there weight + twice the weight of there gear.
[QUOTE=Binladen34;29891093]It's 13 billion miles away.
It can be done, within out lifetime even. Just as long as you have a fuck load of fuel.[/QUOTE]
Nuclear Fusion.
Assuming that once we have the capability to actually get there we would be able to sustain a fusion reaction.

Shit, in 3 years they'll be getting the newest episodes of Hey Arnold and Ren and Stimpy.
It will be the best years of the aliens' lives.
So who's coming with me?
Can I ship all the people I don't like there in the name of science?
So we looked at about 500 planets and we found 1 that can support earth type life. 1 out of 500 aint bad especially since many scientist believe that the Goldilocks zone isnt really needed to support life that gets heat from the planet itself.

There might be lots more out there. I do believe the smaller the planet, the harder it is to detect. Hence why "super-Earths" are easier to detect than normal Earth-like planets.
How old is the planet?
I mean there was a lot of carbon dioxide right? Well our planet wasn't always habitable either so, let the nature do it's job. Maybe it's a start of another set of species and even intelligent species right there!
It took very long for us to pop out so.. let's not rush it, so we don't fuck it up.
Or.. maybe we'll be there to wish a warm welcome as they, whoever, evolve! :v: Wouldn't THAT be quite fucking something!
[b]Edit[/b] Now that I think of it that way, if we catch these "other evolutions" early (if we can call it that), we'll truly be the survival of the fittest because we monitor their birth and the evolving process and.. control them.
Make them to pay fucking taxes. Oh.. god I feel overwhelmed right now. :psyduck:

Looks like Earth died
Looks like earth in the earlies if you ask me.
