Kepler telescope (Kepler himself was born in 1600s) was decommissioned long time ago.
Only now the data it has gathered has been viewed again with some scrutiny.
There is a planet that is just like Earth but is far away.
We can get there in 3000 years if we move at 10% of light speed. We need a powerful rocket for that.
Researchers now say tihs brings even more hope of colonizing Earth like planets in the future because now we know there are quite many out there.
ur a retard
Why though?
Holy Fuck! Get in Here!
Space is fake
Lad we could easily go to Trappist-1 instead, it’s only 39 light years away, it’s an ultracool red dwarf which means it is estimated to live for 10 to 13 trillion years, it has 7 earth sized rocky planets orbiting it with 3 in its habitable zone and one of those Trappist e looks incredibly promising with a gravity, mass, size similar to earth and most importantly water.
It’s is probably the best and nearest candidate system for colonisation.
The James Webb telescope is set to take a proper look at the place when they finally put the fucking thing up in 2021 assuming it doesn’t get delayed again.
>hope of colonizing
we haven't even colonized earth yet, at least half the continents are populated but unters Slow the fuck down you schizo
Oh wow user
Oh wow
>We need a powerful rocket for that.
we need a fusion rocket or a solar sail
chemical rockets will never takes us to the stars
Why are brits always wicked space and physics fags?
why would i want to colonize some far away planet when i can just become full cyborg and go live on pluto
>finally get there
>all the planets have no atmosphere, no magnet field
Because space and physics are very cool.
Some city sized fusion powered colonisation ship could probably take you and a number of colonists it wouldn’t be difficult either, you simply accelerate for a time and then turn the engines off and allow the ship to cruise to whatever destination you are heading for.
Assuming the tech of the future allows for speeds of even just 10% of light, it wouldn’t take that long and if cryogenics are involved then people could simply be frozen to make the journey far easier.
You're gonna end up drowning a crew member and having to play romance games with the only woman on board. And no, you're not the one who's fuckin'.
>See plant 3000 years away
GTFO retard
>cryogenics
>get frozen for long journey, thousands of years pass, get to destination
>things have changed, shit is no longer habitable
>WELP
>get frozen again, journey back to earth, again thousands of years
>earth is now nothing but black people chimping out, everything is destroyed, can't even land without spears being chucked at the ship
>WELP
*planet
Well the James Webb telescope will make a closer inspection on these worlds but from what we know so far, many of them definitely have large bodies of water, so an atmosphere is almost certainly guaranteed on Trappist e, and Trappist e is very dense so it is made mostly of rock and iron meaning a magnetic field is likely and even if the world is shit, I would think tech of the future would allow us to atleast set up a colony on the surface and we would begin setting up a habit below ground to avoid radiation or any other above ground problems.
>thinking space travel is even remotely feasible with rockets and other primitive technologies that require a fuel source
We need to develop real tech first
this isn't fucking politics, it's scientific news and belong somewhere else like or
I don’t think a few thousand years would be long enough for these planets to shit the bed and die unless they were dead to begin with and if you return home and it’s full of niggers then use the advance weaponry of the ship to wipe out the nigger savage population and recolonise the earth, infact your idea is very positive as it gives earth a second chance in the possibility of a planetary Black Plague.
We will never colonize another planet, we have to feed 3 billion more niggers in the next 20 years
>Trappist 1 announces construction of first synagogue
>Local rabbi says Trappist 1 should open doors to refugees.
>large bodies of water
could be inhabited by anything then
including sea monsters
no way
too spooky
i learned my lesson from playing spore and swimming out into the water OwO
Hydrogen is abundant in the universe. You can pick up ice from a comet and turn it into hydrogen for fuel and oxygen to breathe.
oh wow only 3000 years? sign me the fuck up im ganna bang some alien boipuss bros
I pretend to close my cryopod and when everyone is asleep I eject the kikes and other shitskins into space, saving the future inhabitants of trapland from an eternity of kike kikery.
It’s alright, we will make frens with them and they will let us ride them like jet skis while keeping us safe from Cthulhu’s wrath.
why do you trumptard pussies always want to run away?
In terms of saving our species from extinction, that's not that long, especially considering suspended animation.
OP is still an idiot for not knowing that the Kepler telescope isn't from the 1600's...
I can't wait for the James Webb telescope. It will be in orbit and it's much more powerful than Hubble.
we should be able to figure out their atmosphere based on spectral lines n sheeeit.
Because you can't run from:
>Mass extinction events like comet/meteor impacts
>Full ecological collapse
>Mega plagues
>Overpopulation
>Nuclear "oops"
> Intentional nuclear "oops"
>Solar flares
>Eventual death of the sun
At some time if we expect to be a long-lived species we're going to have to leave here.
We already have and most of them are trash except for e and two others, it’s assumed that they are all tidally locked, but they would still leave a ring around e that is habitable, but we don’t know that for sure.
Either way we won’t know shit until this James Webb telescope gets up and takes a look, thankfully the Trappist system will be one of the first things it looks at.

This is an even bigger nothingburger that the holohoax and corona
