X-O Planet Ping!.........................
Okay.... you know this is garbage just by the title. There is no “nearby” star other than our own sun.
I really prefer this description than the usual “Earthlike”.
Considering we had to just send a rocket to Pluto to see what it looks like, I question how accurate these scientists are about planets around other stars.
“...in the language of ‘Star Wars,’ would be the polar opposite of frigid Hoth, and even more inhospitable than the deserts of Tatooine.”
But, is it a wretched hive of scum and villainy? If not, I ain’t goin’!
So what? Wake me up when we can reach velocities greater than one hundred thousand miles a second. Because until we can, we ain’t goin nowhere.
Good grief. "A mere"? I can say confidently that humanity will NEVER visit this planet, certainly not in the lifetime of anyone here, and most probably never. These fantasies are holding humanity back.
