Uh Yeah with our current technology it will only take us oh about 350,000 years to travel there lol.

I nominate BD to lead the mission there.

Well what are you waiting for?! Get on it!

I'll go too!!!! *raises hand* come on come on lemme go lemme go!!!! I've always wanted to go to space and throw a turtle to see if he really does float forever!

Ooo, I heard about this. Just think....multiple Boingo's in the universe!

As homesick as I would get, it would be AWESOME to go space.

I wonder what the lag would be...

Easy - it would be *at least* 20.5 years (plus a few milliseconds added for PC-to-transmitter on earth and receiver-to-server on Gliese 581-c)

so in the time it takes them to move on step...20 yrs would pass....wouldnt they get kicked for idling??

"We would face a possible eight-figure payout if it were to be confirmed that intelligent life of extra-terrestrial origin exists"

....oooooooh....i wanna goo tooo!!.(ill pretedn to eb the extraterresteral life..

..)..split the money 50/50.

...

but yeha in all seriousness that planets would also need a moon..(to help wiht tides whcih contorl weather conditons cooling, and to absorb the multple impacts asteroids and commets make....alot..on moons...as in the sploaches on the moon are would be ammergedons for our plaents if the moon was not there..and its stablizes the roation f the plaent..) ..this moon also would have to be the right size..mass...distance..(or else you get mile high tides...not very good for life you know...get drowned out every day or so..bad for the health..)

and then there toher things like magnetic field to help wiht blocking out the whole solar wind stuff.

and also sunscreen cus i mean come on..sun that big?... youd get sunburn 30 seonds flat...

*steps out on plaent*
"hmm nice plan- AUGH SKINBURNNIGN MY EYES AAK!!!THE PAIN THE BURNING THE AAAK!!..--ssssssssszzztt....."
*guy still inside ships bay*:--".i think i have a cold...ill stay inside..and go home-- i mean to bed..not home..o.0.."

also..seeing you loos muscle/bone mass...get there in lets say ..speed fo light 20 yrs...youd bvreak all your boen steppign on the planet...and wuldnt be able to get up...:/...

but yeah this is rlly long post so ill end it here..:/....and hi

Interesting notions Jason x, but even on a backward planet like earth, the creatures are adapted to their environment.

A creature that is adapted to life at the poles does not survive very well at the equator.

If waves that big existed, I predict that one life form on the planet would be nearly flat, 2 meters long, with a single stabilizing fin near its back. The color patterns on its skin would be nearly anything. when the creature was "swimming" down the front of a wave, a bipedal, Anthropoidimorphicized turtle of juvenile to adult age would drop onto its back yelling "COWABUNGA!".

the likely hood that extra terrestrial life exists, mathematically seems rather good. the likely hood that it is more advanced that a single celled being is rather poor.

Hmmmmm, nah, I won't say it...............But let's take a look at the picture of a sweet little turtle on the back of a manta, a wee stick in one hand and a couple of reins in the other, screaming " COWABUNGA, DUDES."

Hey! It's a bo staff! Turtles have at least evolved beyond the use of "sticks."

XD indeed..
