I’ll go if I can wake up along the way and wake Jennifer Lawrence for company. I could put up with a little Leftism if it was just her and me...

I really don't get the "scientific" fascination with looking for water or water vapor as the sole criterion for finding extraterrestrial life.
Yes, life as we know it on earth, depends on water. It is possible that other lifeforms can exist very comfortably without a drop of water.

orbits a red dwarf star close enough to receive about the same amount of radiation from its star as Earth does from our sun. Meaning, it's a tidally-locked "hot Jupiter". Likely not any life there, but of course WE WILL NEVER KNOW.

Let us convince those who hate America, money well spent with the hopes that they may encounter creatures like alien
To: Red Badger
The diameter of K2-18b is twice that of Earth, and has 8 times the mass of Earth. K2-18b is an exoplanet orbiting the red dwarf star K2-18 every 33 days, at 13 million miles away from its red dwarf sun, compared to Mercury’s orbit at 36 million miles away from our sun.
Thus it is possible that K2-18b is tidally locked by the star’s gravity, leaving one side of K2-18b always facing the star and the other side always facing away, like perpetual night.
Thus, despite the usual media hype, this planet is not likely habitable.
