First we send all the telephone sanitizers and account executives.
remind me,, why do we want to find life elsewhere ??
Certainly no place to raise your kids, let alone visit in person.
Dang machines are having all the fun.
So incredibly stupid to state this is a place to “search for life” (as if we have the means to travel 4.3 light years). It’s a FLARE STAR! I will sterilize whatever little planet is in a tight orbit around it, and sterilize it regularly.
“At just 11 light-years away, it’s the second closest exoplanet of its kind to Earth.”
11 light years = 11 x 5.9 trillion miles = 64.9 trillion miles
The many abuses of the use of “earth like” in promoting these stories when admittedly:
“But we still need to know what the atmosphere of Ross 128 b is like. Depending on its composition and the reflectivity of its clouds, the exoplanet may be life friendly with liquid water as the Earth, or sterile like Venus.”
“Earth like” is not merely the kind of star a planet is orbiting, the planets size and distance from its sun, suggestions (by light signature) there “may be” water there, and some other variables.
It requires a whole constellation of variables to ALL be present, and in every “earth like” exoplanet claimed so far, too few of those variables are there, or are known to be there.
I call this theme “popular science fraud”.
Send Vger to investigate...
Hey, astronomers, wishing doesn’t make it true.
What we need to do first is make sure that the planet we are investigating belongs to the Federation. Then we can proceed.
If we find ourselves looking at a planet inhabited by/controlled by the Reptilian Empire, we will find ourselves in deep, deep doo-doo.

This must be the planet where Elvis came from.
11 light years.
Just down the road.
