4.5 Billion Earth Like Planets Nearby!

very interesting

 

It's the Federation of Planets... Noting to worry about.

 

"earth sized"

that is a far cry from "earth like"

 

yes, but 4.5 billion at possible habitable distance

that means at least 100 will likely be inhabited by horny alien babes!

 

It just means we have 4.5 billion places to start looking for life as we know it, though we probably shouldn't just be looking for earth cousins if we want to find life nearby.

 

I hope our species doesn't survive long enough to travel to these other worlds and viciously colonize them as we've done again and again on our own world.

 

Or if we are still around to travel to those other worlds, hopefully they are more powerfully advanced in warfare than us so they can put us in our place.

 

Or eat us after boiling us alive as we do with crayfish.

 

...to seek out new life and civilizations...and fuck them...

 

WE should look at colonising on some of those planets because we've certainly fucked this one!

 

Unless our geneitic programming is altered we won't be getting off this one alive. For an understanding of the depth of the problem have a look at Arthur Koestler's "The Ghost in The Machine".

 

Driving home late last night, I saw a meteorite streaking across the sky for a few seconds, before it vanished. So, its not a matter of if, only when, the big one will hit us.

 

And we won't fuck up the new planet? Until we can learn to care for the one we have now, we should not be allowed to fuck up another one.

 

Yes, it's only a matter of time. What really is scary though is the only effort to detect dangerous near earth objects in the Southern Hemisphere is about to be closed for lack of finance. Still, I suppose I don't really want to see it coming.
On the other hand, effort devoted to detection could pay dividends as we already have the technology to destroy these objects before they reach us. Sadly though we are too devoted to threatening our tribal opponents with nuclear annihilation to devote any significant effort towards saving our entire species.
From my perspective it might be better if we were rendered extinct before we spew our narrow minded tribal viciousness out into the rest of the universe.

In my opinion, life on earth will end for humans due to a meteor collision. Its only a matter of time. Because life on earth started, due to tens of thousands of meteors landing in earths warm primordial oceans over millions of years, that provided the earth with the building blocks of life, which are amino acids that were contained in the meteors. So its only fitting that our lives should end the same way they began, from space. So yes, we really are made of star dust, it helped to create our DNA.

 

All true but I want to replace 'fitting' with 'deserved'.
