I'm pretty sure the rich are going to claim those planets as their own property before any of us manage to get to them...

Until the uprising.

Bah, we should have made an uprising against the rich ages ago. We're still just fiddling around even after the whole Snowden revelation over in the US. And sorry to be the bringer of bad news Mikaze, but the rich are going to take the hot alien ladies as well as the lands from the new planets before we can get to them, because none of us have gotten the guillotines ready in time. We'll be slaves to them there like we're slaves to them here now, and the alien chicks will most likely suffer the same fate. Yeah, and people have the nerve to ask me why I have misanthropic tendencies.

Let the anger flow through you. Peace is a lie, there is only passion. Through passion, I gain strength. Through strength, I gain power. Through power, I gain victory. Through victory, my chains are broken.

Woo woo, three virgin planets for humans to convert into landfills!
And sorry to be the bringer of bad news Mikaze, but the rich are going to take the hot alien ladies as well as the lands from the new planets before we can get to them,I will fight literally everyone if that's what it takes to boldly go.
But would you fight a being of absolute Law and Good with five burning wings?

That which stands in the way of hot hot interplanetary peace and understanding must be punched.
It's okay though. I'll forgive him eventually.
let's go. who's with me?
Will be safe and will you protect us?

Let me put it to you this way:
when we're going to the giant obviously alien built megastructure on the planet that looks like the first level of Dante's hell, I won't say "no. We don't need those. This is a scientific expedition," when you start breaking out the chain guns.| 2 people marked this as a favorite. |

Aww maaan. We've only uncovered buildings full of unknown alien artefacts, but not one single living alien. And we've been here for, like, 20 minutes. This trip was such a waste!
Someone remind me again why aliens visiting earth is impossible when we've got inhabitable planets within a reasonable driving distance?

Because this is reality and nothing cool ever happens here.

Because 22 light years is only a "short distance" when you consider a galaxy is 100,000 light years across. When you realize that no one has yet disproven that faster than light speed is impossible, it's still a lllooonnngggg way away.

It is theoretically possible to fold or bend space time to allow for travel over great distances without the need to travel faster than light. The energy required and the tech to do it is way beyond us at this time.
Then again if you can negate mass by suppressing the Higgs Field you could get close to the speed of light.

I'd be interested in any references. Last I read the amount of energy required to create a wormhole exceeded the amount of energy currently existing in the universe.

Lets point those Satellites and telescopes at Proxima Centauri until we know everything about that star system and its planetary bodies. Don't offer me worlds around 'other' stars that are further away. Show me a planet in Orbit around Proxima with near-earth conditions we can colonize...
In 2012, physicist Harold White and collaborators announced that modifying the geometry of exotic matter could reduce the mass–energy requirements for a macroscopic space ship from the equivalent of the planet Jupiter to that of the Voyager 1 spacecraft (~700 kg)[3] or less,[15] and stated their intent to perform small-scale experiments in constructing warp fields.[3] White proposed changing the shape of the warp bubble from a sphere to a doughnut shape.[16][17] Furthermore, if the intensity of the space warp can be oscillated over time, the energy required is reduced even more.[3] According to White, the idea could be tested in a lab by utilizing a modified Michelson-Morley interferometer. One of the legs of the interferometer would appear to be a slightly different length when the test devices were energised.[15]

Phutt! Smells like someone wants funding and will say any old crap. Voyager will take 76 thousand years to get to Proxima. We can test their engine en route...

I read this as "wangs".
What? They're aliens.
Interesting. I wasn't aware of this. But it's aparently still hypothesis stage. I'll remain a skeptic until there is some experimental evidence (which I guess he's working on).
Greg
Only if you suck up to him.
Well, I'll be working the mess hall then.
Nevermind. I'm bleaked now because I like just found out that c+ isn't possible. I never knew that until this thread.

srsly though, NASA, hurry alreadyHurry up and what? NASA can't break the laws of physics, and it can only use the science and engineering we have at the moment. Given that all of our science says that FTL isn't practical for the forseeable future, I'd ask again... Hurry up and what?
Literalism destroys families dude.
I thought this Valley Girl told me to gag her with a spoon one time in 1982.
That's when I learned.

Mikaze I have to ask. If we do find sapient alien life what makes you think they would find humans attractive enough to have some of that hot hot interplanetary peace with?
They probably would probably want to be just friends and humans would be phased into the inter-species friend zone.

THAT'S @#$%ING QUITTER TALK

Certain humans of course.
Certain humans would be called late at night to talk about alien boyfriends who were so uncaring and cruel, and who they wished were more like "certain humans."
Then there's the Alphas; they get the sexy sexy peace.

History is full of really cool stuff that was never going to happen.
I'm more looking forward to a transhuman future on Earth than space colonisation.
I'd much rather deal with the problems of having a robot body than the problems I already have with this organic one.

Oh yes, *everything*'s rainbows and kittens over on the artificial lifeforms side of the fence. I'm rusting in places you never even dreamed existed!
Not that anyone cares, of course.
Well, a robot body means 22 light years at .1 c (conservative estimate) or 200 years of travel in a bussard ramjet give or take isn't too much of a time waster; you just put your brain on hibernate and wake up to sexy sexy peace.

Oh wow. I get to be forcibly shut down then shot through space only to be woken up in time for the inaugural Pan-Galactic Interspecies Ponking Festival. "Oh, Marvin, film this!" "Oh, Marvin, hold this device that vibrates at exactly the right frequency to make your insides rattle like a Vauxhall Cavalier going full pelt down a cobbled street!" "Oh, Marvin, is it true that you can dispense lube through a firehose?" Whoopee doopee doopee doo. I'm touched, purely because you bothered to consider how much I might hate something like that before making me do it. Thankyou. Really, thankyou. Thanks.
