First Earth-sized exoplanet found

[Doktor Howl]

This is amazing!  

I'm waiting for them to find out what the atmosphere is like. That's an obstacle for Earth-like life to be present, and not just for the weather problems they mention.

Since it doesn't rotate, it likely does not have a very strong magnetosphere to protect it from Gliese's radiation.

Interesting destination for future colonization prospects though, once we figure out to go a little bit faster.

We won't be leaving Earth anytime soon, if ever.

True, but if we can get through the next couple of hundred years and still have the capability to leave the planet, it would be a good time to start working on being able to do so.

I know it won't be in my lifetime one way or the other, but I like the idea of it eventually happening.

I think in the next couple of hundred years, we'll be avoiding the Cities of the Ancients, due to the horrible ghosts.

Would you like some blankets?

We have this lovely "fire water".

Of course, it's equally likely that they'll do it to us.  We'd have no way of knowing if a ship was on its way here until they started to slow down.

At first I thought this was the coolest thing ever, and it could be like Star Trek.

And then I realized. There are humans on this planet. And then I had a sad.

There is no reason to believe that aliens will be any more advanced or civilized than we are.

After all, keep Roswell in mind.  They build the kind of ships that crash.  We can do THAT.

That only happened because the helmsman was their equivalent of Welsh.

What are the odds of TWO planets producing the Welsh?  I call malevolent deity.

I love how the Welsh thing is really taking off here.

It's so over the top that it works.  Don't tell Nigel or Cudgel I said that.

There's so much to work with, and the usual reaction is for someone to go "But I'm not fucking Welsh!" or Nigel going

I will. Potatoes are excellent, way better than coal and gravy with a side of mutton

All I can say is, I would gladly be the first person to die that way.  History books, here I come.
