A planet with a tidally locked synchronous rotation 5 million miles from a small (0.12 solar mass) star with strong x-ray emission from active stellar flaring.
Yeah, that’s so very “similar to Earth.” But the real evidence that the planet actually has some advanced form of intelligent life on that planet is whether they have the ability to prevent something like Hillary from running for a political office.
lol... can we send Hillary there with a one way ticket!
That close to even a red star I could hardly imagine it has an atmosphere.
Thanks for posting what I was thinking. It’s a flare star! Not very habitable.
Now if the planet had somehow produced a magnetic field (not very likely) then it ‘MIGHT’ have some type of atmosphere, but, not very likely at all.
As for the speed to get there, the problem isn’t the speed to get there, the problem would be slowing down to stay there. You get going up to .25c or so, you could get there in a reasonable amount of time, but, you would have to slow down for a long time to keep from overshooting the system altogether.
Physics be a harsh mistress! ARRRRRHHHH!
