only ~20 light years away

Thats awesome!

yea but the gravitational feild would be 1.333333 being th planet is biger having 1/3 more mass would mean it would be ok to live on BUT it would do damage to our bodies

[BonzoHansen]

I hear it is warming.... :lol:

[Brando56894]

wow thats pretty cool, i love space its so interesting. kinda funny that its year is less then 2 of our weeks :lol:

yea but the gravitational feild would be 1.333333 being th planet is biger having 1/3 more mass would mean it would be ok to live on BUT it would do damage to our bodies

over time our bodies would get used to it, skinny people would make out better there :lol:

It is the smallest planet yet discovered outside the solar system, with a radius about one and a half times that of Earth, giving it about twice the gravitational pull.

adaptation and evolution, we had to develop appropriate skeletons to survive here so eventually i think that could be overcome

Does that mean theres universal warming :wink:

I wander what the hot rod scene is like there :lol:

[bobb1589]

yeah ... too bad we will never be able to get there... even if we travelled at the speed of light it would take 20 years... its cool to think about... but will never happen

[Brando56894]

they need to harness/invent a new type of propulsion cuz rockets are ancient and outdated now

[Teds89IROC]

Thats so cool!

[79CamaroDiva]

'only' 20 light years away.. that means any measurements based on light (what else can they base it on?) happened 20 years ago.. and type of propulsion to get any satellites or instruments there would take 40 years to get there and back if they were capable of traveling at the speed of light, not including the time spent there.. its a cool discovery, but i don't expect anything to come out of it in our lifetime.

i heard chuck norris is leaving tomorow to visit them as earths offical ambassador

i heard chuck norris is leaving tomorow to visit them as earths offical ambassador

didn't you hear? he's already back.

[Savage_Messiah]

Pretty damn cool. We definately need to first get up to light speed, and then work on the whole faster-than-light-equals-going-back-in-time theory
