Wow, 31 light years. Thing’s practically in our hip pocket…relativity speaking.
Vulcan!
If we get started early in the morning we can be there in no time...Especially at the speed of light.

Operative words: “may be”.
sheila jackson lee says we should go there and get our flag back.
Dude! Get in before it gets too crowded.
The most “Earth like” planet ever discovered is almost the same size and mass as Earth and orbits a yellow dwarf star at relatively close to the same orbit as Earth.
It is called Venus. Up close it is not very Earth like.
I suspect that most “Earth like” exoplanets are far more “Venus like” or “Mars like” than they are Earth like.
I'm telling you right now, they dont know diddly squat about what might me!! there is no way in hell their models and guesstimates can tell if a planet is in a orbital zone that would sustain life from 31 MILLION light years away!! Earth has life, Mars does not. and there is only 50 million miles between us!! and can anyone seriously tell me that judging/estimating this, something that would actually compare to a grain of sand against our solar system to 50 Million miles against 31 Million Light Years!! and I think im shy using the grain of sand/solar system example...
smh...
As I recall from one of the few moments in physics class I was awake: at the speed of light, the Enterprise would get there and back in no time, but it would appear to us on Earth that it had taken 32 years.
If the planet is orbiting a red star, does that mean that any life forms that evolve would, automatically, be communists?
Not necessarily, however knowing communists, it wouldn’t
take long. It’s the solution they are working toward
here on earth.
As I recall the Borg took over the Wolf 359 system in a huge battle. Probably best to stay away from that area.
Only 31 light years? Biden probably has his people gearing up for refugee applications as we speak, and NASA will be tasked with bringing them here.
On the bright side, there will at last be a rationale for a manned space program that democrats will support.
Let’s choose the B Ark crew now.
Well yeah but wouldn't the Enterprise have go to warp factor 31 to get there in a year.
Less than a year at Warp Factor 3 according to ST:TNG.
I think we can build a bridge using deficit dollars.
So true. Most people don’t realize how vast are the empty distances between worlds, let alone between solar systems. We are extremely lucky to have a few worlds in our solar system to “play” with. Just getting to the Moon is difficult, let alone going to Venus or Mars - but can be done given enough time and resources. Other worlds will never be as good as Earth, what with our seasons, water, breathable air, and magnetic poles to block radiation. If we could rid ourselves of liberals we wouldn’t need to look elsewhere.
5.88 trillion miles x 31= 182.28 trillion miles. That's all. astronomers have identified an incredibly rare Earth-sized world orbiting at a distance from its star that should be hospitable to life as we know it. If, that is, the exoplanet itself has the right conditions to be conducive to life's emergence.
Taking into account the inconceivable complexity needed for an " Earth-sized world hospitable to life as we know it" than it becomes another example of the great faith of such promoters, yet who usually deny (at the least) that this world had a creator. "Faith-based scientific postulations." If the belief in a universe without a creator - which is what is implied by lack of even the mention of one as a possibility - was a formal religion it would be disallowed in schools, yet even intelligent design is banned due to its religious motivations.
