Space Fuck Yea



Damn. It's times like these that I'm sad that I probably will die before we have the technology to explore these planets and/or we'll implode as a civilization.

Everything is possible, you just have to believe in magnets.
 
I just hope they have terrorists too, so we can begin liberating the universe, and spreading freedom through the galaxies!

But how do they work? - Fucking magnets that is.

God is the only answer (I would have wrote that regardless of your username)

Would take a top NASA spaceship around 23 million years to travel there lol!!:hollering:

Yeah you'd have to get close to the speed of light to make it even remotely possible.

Even then it would take 600 years.

So then you'd need some sort of cloning or cryogenic system or make the ship large enough to actually live on for a couple generations.

Papajohn will no doubt correct me on this, or at least provide accurate figures and a layman's explanation, but time and space don't work like that and as speed increases, distance shrinks and therefore it would actually take considerably less than 600 years. (As in a few days.)

I remember Professor Brian Cox saying that travelling at 99.9999% the speed of light would allow us to get to the the Andromeda Galaxy (3 million light years away) in only 50 years. So by those figures it would mean it would take about 4 days to get to the new planet. (Although if you turned around and came straight back, the earth would be 1200 years older even though you've only travelled for 8 days - I think!)

Well time would slow down for the people on the ship as compaired to those on Earth, so for them if would seem like 8 days (or whatever), for us on Earth it would still seem like it had taken them the 600+ years.
 
The picture vs. the story is slightly confusing.. They say it has it's own sun... well, um... It kind of has two suns by judging how close our sun is to it. I wonder if that gives off some light as well.
