It's got a moderate commute problem, but overall it looks like a better trek than from Riverside to downtown L.A.

they cant find anything. do you really believe that they have any clue that a planet 460 light years could sustain life? im convinced that all this space "science" is a bunch of bs. they tell you that a quasar is billions of light years away, do you really believe that their measurement is anywhere near accurate? what would be an acceptable range for them to be accurate? 100 million light years? 1 billion light years off is still a good estimate? i dont know the true answers but im not going to fill in the blanks with jesus or with bs science.

Do they have good bars/cantinas with live music? Preferably not ones where light saber fights break out though. And hopefully no sand worms, I went on vacation to Dune once and its really hard walking to the intergalactic bodega to get a colt 45 (Cause it works everytime) in the middle of the night.

Its 460 light years away, the commute is going to be crazy.

Even assuming you can get up to 50% of the speed of light (needing the other 50% of your mass to slow down) the commute is going to be on the neighborhood of 900 years, One way....

Why do we explore the most remote and dangerous parts of our home?
Because our species does this. As long as we have been humans, we have gone where we have never gone before. It's in our nature, as hardwired into us as walking upright.
