/r9k/ come hear me, the great scientists at NASA have discovered a new solar system
Just 40 light years away lies the Trappist 1 system
7 earth like planets
6/7 are Rocky meaning they have earth like gravity
3/7 are in the habitable zone meaning liquid water
They are all so close together that space travel between them would only take a few days
So tell me, why not leave this world that has forsaken you and forge a new destiny imin the Trappist system?
Start your colony

neat
was drinking a trappist beer when I read this
can this be a Christian only system?

today I'm starting maladaptive daydreaming about living on one of those planets alone.
I wish I could pack anything I Iove and leave for there.

Whatcha thinkin about?

Since this thead is dying, I claim the entire TRAPPIST - 1 system to forge my interstellar empire. Try to defeat me faggots.

You are born a Terran
You die a Terran
Long distance space travel isn't possible.
Mankind's speediest spacecraft so far is travelling 33,000 MPH. At that rate it takes it roughly six hours to go as far as light light goes in one second. That's a ratio of one to 21,600. So that means current technology could get us to our nearest neighbor two LY away in 43,000 years.
Your welcome i just ruined your hopes and dreams

And 100 years ago we bairly had planes

Wow you just dropped a bombshell on me my dude

>>35053755
If NASA had the US army budget we would already be on those planets.
1 Planet for each super power would definitely ease tensions in world.

>>35054194
and your point?
Shuttles are high cost high risk and low profit
Planes are low risk high profit

neat.

My point is much of what was once impossible or deemed as magic is now possible in our everyday

>our nearest neighbor two LY away
Alpha Centauri is 4.24 light years away m8.
also
>our spacecraft travels this fast now, therefore it will never travel faster
is a really stupid argument. Yes the distances are huge and it will likely never be like star trek where people are just zipping all around the galaxy but to say it's outright impossible is dumb.
