I will use 186,000 mps for easier math.


186,000 x 60(seconds) x 60(minutes) x 24(hours) x 365(days) x 1,400(years) = 8,211,974,400,000,000 (total miles to planet)

then

40,000(current craft speed) x 60(seconds) x 60(minutes) x 24(hours) x 365(days) = 350,400,00 (miles per year traveled by our current craft)

Then divide the bigger number by the smaller one. Would be how many years it would take.


looks good to me

Yupyup, my father told me about this.
He was like, they found a new planet just like Earth, with living beings on it.
I'm like... let me take a look... he was wrong about the life, old man :lol:

2 ways we will get there.. and we will I think within the next 100 years we will be ready to go

Alcubierre drive or wormholes will be our primary way of traveling...


2 ways this comes about... humanity NEEDS this due to something going awry on our planet OR we meet an intelligent life form that has already discovered these methods and we use their knowledge.

if it takes 1400 light years and you assume we will travel at 40,000 mps
then the total time would be simply 1400* 186/40=6510years

thats wrong sorry.. our closest star would take us atleast 75000+ yrs let alone one thats 1400 light years away

So how do we know this is an 'Earth 2.0'? Has the atmosphere been studied?

I believe both Mars and Venus are in the habitable zones of our star..

Aren't we getting a little overly excited?

you could live on venus if you dont mind 400+ celsius temperatures and breathing sulphure dioxide. mars is best bet for colonization however I dont think its a good idea due to the fact its so close to asteroid belt. shit earth be getting it alot more if it were not for the moon attracting all that stuff.

you are correct. I believe what they said they do not even know the composition of the planet, and further studies would be needed to see what really is going on there.

"If Kepler-452b has a similar geographic composition to our planet then it is in danger of entering catastrophic phase of its life."

I also think the NASA report (although I can not find it ATM) stated that this planet was most likely in late "greenhouse" effects, so even though its in the "g" spot.. it would never be a reasonable expectation to travel there. Although long distance research could be gather to get a better grasp on how the planet my be effected in the next million or two years.
