Good bye Coli(2014-2020)
Wow... If I'm reading corretly they say the planet is closer to its star than Mercury is to our sin but the planet's star is much cooler than our star. Interesting.

They say its most likely in its own Goldilocks zone but I hope the planet has its atmosphere and its gases are similar to that of Earth and thus water can be on the planet and thus life greator than bacteria.

Not only that... 2 things.

1. We keep talking about terraforming another planet when we can't even take care of our own planet :mjpls:
2. Even if we can travel and near the speed of light... how would you slow a ship going that fast down :russ:

that's a really good question that has never crossed my mind.

when the story first dropped.. it was called Proxima Centauri..

then, it was changed to B..

either way- its the name of the planet in Event Horizon..


No it wasn't. Proxima Centauri is the name of the star. Every article I've seen since Wednesday calls the planet Proxima b

Just because the movie Avatar takes place in the Alpha Centauri system, that doesn't mean Alpha Centauri doesn't exist

:francis:You see how they're already trying to market this planet to the "Urban" youth?

"Hey Black folks! Get on this spaceship and leave Earth for Proxima Centauri, B!":krs:

:ufdup:You ain't slick, NASA MASSA.:pacspit:
