I always was a fan of the Trappist beers....
Gene Roddenberry is smiling.
The demotion of humans, as special beings; continues.
Let Liberals go there and they’ll screw that up too
Road trip! Who’s bringing the beer?

Can these planets support Democrat-based life forms?
I claim dibs on the planet with the best women.
can we send the libtards there?
Seven class M planets? Mr. Sulu...
TO go maybe but to get there? like never.
39ly = 2.29E+14 miles. The fastest space craft we have is the pioneer which is going 82020 miles per hour. That works out to 2.79E+9 hours. Divide by 8760 hours in a year and you get 318,624 years for a one way trip.
Near by being a loose term. Cosmically speaking, there is nothing near by.
Thirty-nine light years away? That would take us what, two thousands years to reach at our present technological level?
I’ll explore ‘em when I have my new body.

And thanks to the flares, those planets atmospheres will have long since been blasted away.
They can’t ALL be in the ‘Goldilocks Zone’ can they?

Democrats immediately held a special meeting to find a way to tax the new planets.
