NASA Just Discovered The Most Habitable Planet Since Earth

So cool, now we just need to figure out how to get their! Come on technology!

Time to move! It's getting crowded in here.

Just spread the rumor that it inhabited with beautiful women that love engineers.

Make the move before real estate prices start climbing.

Oil? Gas? Women? Scotch?

Nasa may have found it but the Chinese will get to it.

Grab some dilithium crystals and fire up the warp drive. 600 light years at warp speed should be a breeze

Did you know that they use fractured dilithium crystals now?

I think Scotty managed to do something with that

Agreed #1.

Impossible. God only made one habitable place in the universe. Everybody knows that. It was 6000 years ago. These scientists are wrong. Again.

Dream on, oh dwellers of spaceship earth. It's 600 light years away. Just to get to the nearest star, a whopping 4 light years away, would take an estimated 1000 years with today's tech. Some of Einstein's theories have been found to have a few small holes here and there but the speed of light thingy is a tough one. Even heading up towards it has problems, or so the people who carefully study this stuff have it.

The chances of that planet being at a geological era that would be hospitable for humans are way small. And if we managed to get humans to the place and still living, the absence of gravity for God knows how long would have rendered their skeletons virtually useless in a gravitational field. Can you imagine what a human born and raised in zero gravity would have for a skeleton and joints? Maybe, maybe, an artificial gravitational field could be created a la "2001: A Space Odyssey" but I'm skeptical.

It's a pipe dream that won't die. Grass is always greener in the next solar system . . .

the skeleton strength would be akin to the suspension of a corolla compared to an old mercedes benz sedan.
