Plan B? Newly discovered planet is the closest yet to a second Earth - National | Globalnews.ca

A computer ignored the foreign world as a false positive, but scientists took a second look and found a planet similar to our own.

trib.al

Second earth here I come.

[Dark Star]

300 light-years from Earth ... *sigh*

They also think it will take us 20-30 years to actually confirm/see if there is water on the planet from so far.... *deep sigh*

To make things more bleak, here is a lovely comment from a random at the bottom of the article OP linked :

Humanity is like a cancer. We kill off the natural eco system of Earth, kill off other living beings for us to spread, infecting nature with cement so that we can circulate more easily, suck out the natural "plasma" that is the oil from the Earth. And when the Earth's ecosystem is dying, we look towards a new host planet like a virus..

LMAO

This planet is 1,800,000,000,000,000 miles away.

Alpha centauri is the closest star at 4.3lyrs (25,800,000,000,000 miles) and that would take around 130,000 years to reach in your average command module (burning fuel the enitire way, probably).

Just to encourage everyone, of course.

The real uncureable cancer is human nature. We ain't leaving earth... Looks at the 2 richest people .... Elon Musk and Jeff Bozo... can't even colaborate to save some $$$.

On the other hand, Jeff Bozo can't get his fucking rocket up ...

Rat Rage did you post this

It was/is only a matter of time until earths twin was/is discovered.

 

[Andrew Korenchkin]

I wonder what equivalent cities exist on this planet relative to our own.

 

[MiyazakiHatesKojima]

You lot aren't going to escape God's wrath, no matter what planet you find.

 

[Skyr]

We should build a flying saucer and invade it.

Can we send all the Democrats there , it’s a win win situation for everyone.

I hate environmentalist misanthropy so fucking much. The point of life, of all information, is to propagate. Humans are the pinnacle of life on Earth, and if we "spread" to another planet that just further cements our position. If we colonize another world and something destroys Earth, every species that dies with it is an abject failure.

 

[Stouffers]

If Earth were to put huge rockets on one side and Earth-2 did the same pointing at us, how long would it take to get within shuttle range?

 

[Birdo]

We need to hurry up with that warp drive. I want to see aliens before I die.

Why? I mean, then what? You’ll always want something new. So you see aliens, then you’ll want to see trans-dimensional beings, then you’ll start pursuing the paranormal and Metroid Prime 4.

Don’t waste your life waiting for Christmas morning.

They’d eat each other long before they get halfway there.

How fast would we freeze to death after leaving the suns orbit

Will I at least have satellite enabled access to GAF from there? You wanna get rid of me that bad?

I recommend this channel for space stuff. Really well explained.
