I like the Alpha centauri model as a good place to find a truly earthlike planet.

Awesome, It’ll coincide with me being able to take my flying car to leave the dying planet and it’s meltdown from global warming...

good, maybe we can move there and make a more conservative lifestyle the dems can have this polluted mess of a planet they’ve created.
To: KevinDavis
Let’s get there before the libs do! : )

and about 100bn of them may exist in our own galaxy, said Dr Alan Boss, According to most astronomers, at least, real astronomers, there are only around 100 billion total stars in the Milky Way galaxy to start with - and not all of them are second-rate yellow stars, like our sun.
So there cannot be anywhere near 100 billion planets, much less Earth-like planets, in this galaxy!

Perhaps we might interest them in buying U.S. Treasury bonds.
We can offer an attractive yield.

The Milky Way galaxy contains far too many nuts (Snickers)

The estimated number of stars in our galaxy was recently increased about ten fold.

The odds of life are not just dependent on size and location but also on chemical composition and whether the planet can maintain a magnetic field and stable orbit and rotation. Both Mars and Venus are “Earth-like” yet have no life.

No nuts in Milky Way...they’ve all been imprisoned here on Earth.

Sounds good, well let’s see...We should be launching Tarp 8 or even 9 by then so it will be tricky, but manageable. Perhaps we could float some bonds through the esteemed Bank of Elbonia?

Also location, location, and location.

Or not.
Will it have Global Warming? If not, it's not the same.
