An entire solar system similar to ours. Within the next decade we'll be able to determine whether there is life on the planets.

Hey, its only 700,000 years away from us at our current rate of travel! Lets set up a trip.

This isn't important at all. Work on Mars colonization if you want me to give a crap.

Right. We cant get there at current technology. What's to be excited about? Mars should be what we are focusing all NASA $$ and energy towards. That's a planet we can reach. Let's fucking explore space! This is just some nerds analyzing data and getting a boner about something that isn't tangible.

While "we" are really good at heating up planets, best case scenario has it taking at least 100 years to build an atmosphere on Mars. That includes redirecting a few asteroids at it and burning carbons on that planet.

I think it's 50/50 whether that would be quicker, or finally figuring out this time/space continuum thing.

You're gonna need a bigger wall.

Cobain can you hear the spheres singing songs from station to station?

You're focusing on the wrong side of this. Perhaps you would be more excited if those planets are inhabited by life forms capable of traveling to earth.
