First habitable planet discovered - Polidicks

[QUOTE=crackberry;29897868]Wow imagine if there is life there. This would be fucking awesome.[/QUOTE] I believe that we don't know what life really is. As said by everyone we can only assume on what we have seen of "life". Who knows, beings might be able to live in pure gaseous atmospheres with little to no heat, To be honest our species/race is very fragile. What ever we do wether it be eat to much or doing anything effects us in some way. We truly are a primitive existence.

Isn't the moon of Saturn habitable?

[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] What happened to oxygen?

Send some of the string bean Facepunchers there.

[QUOTE=captainHOE;29914563]Isn't the moon of Saturn habitable?[/QUOTE] No I believe you are referring to Europa one of Jupiters moons which scientists believe holds life in its vast under ice oceans.

[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] Jupiter is 1 billion miles away. This planet is 1.800.000.000.000.000.000 miles away. I don't even know what you call that.

[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] Space shuttles aren't like cars. There's no friction in space, so you only need fuel to speed up or slow down.

[QUOTE=Thom12255;29906976]We can't break the laws of physics though.[/QUOTE] You also underestimate the ability of finding loopholes.

[QUOTE=Rubs10;29915967]Space shuttles aren't like cars. There's no friction in space, so you only need fuel to speed up or slow down.[/QUOTE] There's gravity from other planets you have to escape from, when you get too close to them.

I wish we had really high powered telescopes to see onto the planet, I wonder what it is like

[QUOTE=hgncommand;29916354]I wish we had really high powered telescopes to see onto the planet, I wonder what it is like[/QUOTE] You would see another you staring back.

[QUOTE=mobrockers2;29916026]There's gravity from other planets you have to escape from, when you get too close to them.[/QUOTE] Yea but if your going to be traveling in space you will have to travel a long way before you can get to any planet. Planets are also very rare in the universe by that I mean if your in space being next to a planet is something that happens very rarely since most of space is nothing.

[QUOTE=ColdWave;29907086] We don't know what we can do.[/QUOTE] [QUOTE=Uberman77883;29916004]You also underestimate the ability of finding loopholes.[/QUOTE] So what makes you think that we can break the laws of physics?

I'm probably late but isn't this discovery old? I remember hearing about the exact same thing last year in an old topic on here.

FUND THAT SHIT. /c

[QUOTE=Shibbey;29890915]I wonder if anything already lives there? Even just bacteria would be overwhelmingly awesome.[/QUOTE] I know, it would prove we're not alone. [sp]Were not[/sp]

[QUOTE=FeartheMango;29916420]You would see another you staring back.[/QUOTE] can I have sex with it

[QUOTE=Zeke129;29918282]can I have sex with it[/QUOTE] According to startrek the males of an alien species are gross while the females are the hot boobed ones.

[QUOTE=TheHypnotoad;29906021]Where are people getting within our lifetimes from? As pointed out 20 light years = 117569996000000 miles, our current fastest probe is voyager 1 I believe and that is travelling at 38000 mph; 20 light years at that speed is 353000 years. Unless my math fails me, that’s a tad longer than my lifetime. Do we have alternate power/ fuel sources that would allow faster travel?[/QUOTE] nuclear :fuckyou:

[QUOTE=Fort83;29890990]too bad we can't live there, too much gas and crazy gravity[/QUOTE] Except you're retarded and seem to misunderstand the term habitable. Habitable of course meaning, we can fucking live there. [editline]19th May 2011[/editline] [QUOTE=geoface;29924836]nuclear :fuckyou:[/QUOTE] Best we have is plasma engines, or we could build an Asimov array on the moon, and make valkyrie rockets.

This is awesome. Send some robots or worthless singers there. [editline]19th May 2011[/editline] [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] Imagine how much money and fuel would be wasted if they ran out just before reaching the place.

Does that mean anything that lives there would be a bit shorter than us since gravity is more forceful? Now I feel much taller about myself. [editline]19th May 2011[/editline] [QUOTE=FullStreak12;29925139]This is awesome. Send some robots or worthless singers there.[/QUOTE] But, if the singers somehow survive and land on the planet, we will have a planet full of worthless singers.

Even if we could travel at the speed of light, it would still take 20 years to get someone over there, and then another 20 years for that person to come back and tell us all it was a worthless shithole colonized by French speaking dwarves.

[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] I wish someone up in Space exploration figures out that all you need is a refueling system in space and you can send them out... I think you would probably go almost as fast as the speed of light if you had enough force.

[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] I don't actually think you'd need that much fuel if the path is clear of debris. Remember, Space isn't an ocean or works like in a videogame, since there's no resistance in the vacuum of space you aren't slowed down by it either. The real problems are braking mechanisms and systems that, despite the environment, can operate for a long time without being maintained by us. And getting the speed necessary of course, tho I heard ion thrusters are pretty capable. But yeah, biggest problem would probably be that some sort of error happens during the long, long, long, long, long, loooong travel, be it a little mistake in the engine or a complete BSOD. Frankly, I don't think we can pull off something as complicated as those long distance travels until we figure out how to create a self-aware system that can rewrite itself to accommodate to new situations quickly without Earth support (any signals transmitted take a lot of time, way more time than light, so by the time Earth notices something is about to go wrong, it's probably gone wrong a long time already) and some sort of super probe that can repair and sustain itself. So I think such programs will still be science fiction for a long time, no matter how many games say that in 2030 we'll sit in the Galactic Council.

[QUOTE=Gekkosan;29896780]Looks like earth in the earlies if you ask me.[/QUOTE] isn't it obiting a dying star

[QUOTE=skynrdfan3;29893267]uh getting there wouldn't be very possible. a light year is 5,865,696,000,000 miles multiply that by 20 and you get: 117,313,920,000,000 that is one-hundred-seventeen trillion three-hundred-thirteen billion nine-hundred-twenty million miles away. i don't know WHERE the person who suggested a few billion miles got their info from.[/QUOTE] Quoting for truth, sadly.
