And So, Earth #2 is Discovered

This is an interesting bit of news.
It's strange though, that the first thing most people were thinking is "is it the new earth? Can it sustain life? Can we live there", which I find both humorous and kind of frightening at the same time.

With an educated guess, it will probably be at the earliest possible day about another hundred years before we can find a planet that's even remotely close to earth's habitat, rotation, revolution, and the distance from surface to the star it orbits.

And even then, we have no idea what the geological implications could be. Perhaps it's a hollow planet or something else from some science-fiction B-movie.

The chances of finding a planet just like ours are extremely low, if not impossible. Though, granted with scientific research going as fast as it has in the past forty to sixty years (which is pretty fast in my opinion, due to the growth ratio in all of recorded history), we may one day be able to terraform our own planets, and create our own solar-systems, galaxies, and possibly a universe where everyone has a mustache.

Civilian transport would be ridiculous, seeing as the so-called "space needle" being developed would take three months just to take civilians with little-to-no training just outside the atmosphere.

We don't have to worry about losing our planet for a few billion years at best. By then we may not even exist, or even then, we may evolve to something completely different than we really are.

The whole situation really raises more questions than anything.

Jam it back in, in the dark.
