I think planets very similar to earth are likely to have life on them, maybe intelligent or maybe as simple as the wildlife in our jungles. I have a strong feeling we're gonna be the mean aliens who invade other planets for our own gain. We invaded other countries and destroyed the people living there, we'll probably do the same for planets.

Flops?

They probably habitat the same intelligent life as we do.

And far, far away.

Better us than them, though

I feel like I wont get to see it in my lifetime which SUCKS. I would LOVE to see us visiting a new planet or even moving to mars or s/t. Imagine the new animals, plants, etc. Imagine looking up and having like 2 stars or s/t or 5 moons,

gliese 581g is 22 light years away though lmao which is approx 6 trillion miles so it isn't something we'll ever be able to reach. i'm sure there'll be planets which sustain life even more intelligent and evolved than our own as the universe is practically infinite and ever-expanding. i don't think we'll ever fully discover just how much life truly is out there, CERTAINLY not in our lifetime.

Ya never know imo, someone could have a technological breakthrough.

true but it'd have to be a pretty humongous technological breakthrough. it takes like 12 hours just for a flight from LA to london lmao so if we were any closer to figuring out how to travel at high speeds through space we'd have similar technology for earth travel.

My godness, Gliese has a very good mark.
Scientists are thinking about colonising Mars already, and some of them think that it wouldn't be that difficult. So a planet like Gliese would work a lot easier than Mars. The problem is the huge distance probably....

Our planet is getting boring.

But in all seriousness, I hope one of those do have life. Even if it's only bacteria or s/t.

We can't even search the bottom of the ocean

Bye girls. I'm leaving this flop planet and it's inhabitants to live with my crush on Gliese 581 g.

For once, I agree with you. As in the only way to reach distant planets is to leave behind using chemical energy for speed, but something much more quantum.

Yaaassss, build that stargate.

How far away are they?

This makes me sad.
I wanna be able to experience all that stuff!

And the first 2 look a lot like Earth

The first one is 15 light years

That's a silly way to look at it though. The same technology for travel in space is not used on earth because of the dangers. Space travel uses nuclear energy from plutonium which allows some of these spacecrafts to reach speeds over 36k mph (New Horizons spacecraft heading to Pluto). Even launching it was a big deal because of the possibility of radiation leaking, imagine if it was used on Earth for commercial flights?

Advancements are more likely in space travel because there are much less dangers to people if one of these spacecrafts combusted in space. Although, that would be a huge loss of money.

I think in our life we'll see huge improvements in space travel but nothing that will even let us reach the closest solar system (Proxima Centauri) in a reasonable amount of time.
