[NEWS] Possibly habitable planet discovered orbiting the closest star to us

[TristanLuigi]

An Earth-sized planet has been discovered in the habitable zone of Proxima Centauri, the closest to us after the Sun. Don't get too excited though - it is likely to be tidally locked, and we have no idea if it has water or even an atmosphere.

i want to colonise the loving stuff out of space

[Lord Tony®]

Will only take about 1,000 years or more to reach.

[The Resonte!]

we must blast the entire earth there at speeds faster than we can comprehend through our use of space

we'll be there by the hour

[Lord Tony®]

I remember when schools only taught us about planets in our solar system.

Now we got all this loving stuff.

We have life on this planet that can survive without water lol.

[Lord Tony®]

Bacteria is also considered as life you know.

Yeah except we cant you handicap

[IkeTheGeneric]

Will only take about 1,000 years or more to reach.

Try 79,000 years

[Lord Tony®]

Yeah except we cant you handicap

Why you calling me a loving handicap?

I didn't say stuff about colonizing it to support human life.

If it can support even bacteria, that is a huge discovery and proof aliens exist.

[espio100]

Except we already found exoplanets and this isnt any different besides the fact thats its 4LY's away wich is still a long loving distance.
And if you think extraterrestrial life doesnt exist your ego is bigger than the entire loving universe. Its loving obvious theres life outside this planet with a little bit of common sense.

paraterraforming and also harvesting local hydrogen and oyxgen to synthesize water

[Donnies Catch]

4 lightyears no big deal
