Earth-like planet discovered around next closest star to Solar System. THIS IS A BIG DEAL

[KravenMorehead™]

How profound.

I guess...

 

[Premeditated]

so there's still no life?

Religion and believers still taking no loses .

 

[Reflected]

Okay, Alpha Centauri is the binary star system, we don't know if the star in the OP orbits it or not. I guess it wouldn't be a stretch to say it does, right?

I hope the black people there
are less trusting/forgiving and kill
bible waving crackas the second they
step off the ships.

white people: we are your friends
alien brehs:

white people: we come in peace:

alien breh:


white people: this is our bible and our jesus teaches us.


alien brehs: destroy them,their planet and sun

This planet orbits a dwarf star which means that star was once the size of our Sun or larger. Life probably went extinct before the earth even formed. If there was ever life there in the first place. If they were an intelligent life form they probably found another nearby planet. Oh wait

We need to pull up on them nikkas before they pull up on us.

"Proxima b is a mere 4.2 light-years away from our solar system, or 266,000 times the distance between the Earth and the sun, which are 92.96 million miles apart."

That shyt far as fukk.

Saw this on CNBC today. If anything lives on this planet im betting it's insect life. Probably have the constitution of roaches to survive the radiation.

 

[Knuckles Red]

Hopefully life on that planet encourages booty sniffing culture.

I love how they make it seem like it's a brisk walk to your nearest convenience store.

 

[KENNY DA COOKER]

"Astronomers also believe it has a rocky surface and could support liquid water as well as evidence of loose Newport cigarette butts and discarded Jordan shoe boxes" sounds like it's "our" planet

 

[WaveCapsByOscorp™]

I guess...

 

[Busted_Toes]

Let's hope there isn't Black feminists on Proxima b.

 

[DontDoIt]

We're still never gonnna reach it. Its far as fukk.

Yet

Humans could divert more money for funding space exploration so that we may one day get there, but right now we need that money for more important things like new missiles, tanks, helicopters, drones, etc.

if we could find a way to go 1/10th the speed of light then we could send something there in 42 years.
