I’m going to get out my flashlight and send “Drink Your Ovaltine” out that direction in Morse code. If we get the reply “That’s a stupid old joke” in 62 years, we’ll know we got ‘em.
To: Red Badger
Well yeah but wouldn't the Enterprise have go to warp factor 31 to get there in a year.
Just kidding, a very interesting post, thanks for sharing.

At one light year per minute, it will be an easy commute!
Wait?
To: Red Badger
Its probably tidal locked.

It likely won’t be as nice as the travel brochures make it out to be.

I wonder why discussions of possible alien life seem to only be applied to water-based life. Why not light-based life? Silicon? Does a state of life require a solid body? Why?
Pardon my 2AM thoughts.

It would only take about 2.5 million years to make the round trip.
When do we get started?

It would be quicker, closer and a better application of resources to terraform Venus, than to chasing off to some far distant star system.
All we have to do is vent off the excess heat in the atmosphere and release the water now bound up in the sulfuric acid which is a major constituent of the atmosphere. The carbon dioxide may then be rendered into oxygen, and maybe tow in a couple of comets with a high ammonia content, to kick-start the formation of an oxygen/nitrogen atmosphere.
Now that would be climate engineering.

Just 31 light-years awayYeah,
only 186,000,000,000,000 miles away. Just, indeed.

Are there enough charging stations for the electric rocket to get there? Not enough sun for solar power that far out.

Are there enough charging stations for the electric rocket to get there? Not enough sun for solar power that far out. We'll just put some windmills on it and hope for the best.

So...
If the planet is orbiting a red star, does that mean that any life forms that evolve would, automatically, be communists?

So, if humans went there would that make us Superman like? Kypton orbited a red star and Superman gets his powers from our Yellow sun (star)?
