This is cool. The salient question is will humanity as we know it be around to colonize if applicable. Sort of like for all those who would like to "Stop the world, I want to get off" mindset or will the insanity of humanity and those controlling the mechanisms of our earthly realm leave the mess they foster and create behind for better environs, a la, the breakaway civilization theory.


Perhaps there is a 'traveler' amongst us? But alas, I don't think we've advanced to become interesting enough as yet.

lets hope that if there is life on any of these planets, and if we ever manage get there somehow, they kill us immdeietely.

you know how we are, we would want to make them be like us, we think we are the bomb here.....

newsflash: were a mess here on this planet, why should we destroy another planet, we cant even get this right.

they need to kill us as soon as we get close to thier planet!!

Does anyone know if oxygen can be created by other sources than plant life (chlorophyll)?

We could send Chlor and Phyll there, right away, so they can get started on that oxygen thing.
