I was just going to post this and you beat me to it! What a cool find.

Do you suppose it has a life form highly evolved like our own?

Do you suppose that life form, like us, has 3 major religions worshiping, to all intents and purposes, the same god and that they will likely drive that life form to extinction with their ceaseless bickering?

We have highly evolved life forms on this planet?
You apparently haven't seen who we elected in 2008.

You would think astronomers and scientists would be a little more open minded to the idea that not all life has to be carbon-based, oxygen-breathing, water-drinking organisms living in a set temperature range. Google the story about the arsenic-based life discovered in some lake a while back. Evolution is about adaptability, which would reasonably mean that life can easily exist in a complete non-Earth environment.

And most importantly do they have an internet with good alien porn sites yet?

I've thought that too.

That would explain a lot of the stuff coming out of Japan these days...

links plz! (just kidding rcade)

A quick and fallible bit of multiplication reveals that this planet, 600 light years from us, would take - at the highest speed man has yet attained - 18,757,200,000 years to reach. I don't want to commit myself to NASA for anything over 14 billion years, the a[proximate age of the universe since the Big Bang. herm

What are ya', chicken?

Yea, look at the shit Ripley had to deal with in the Alien movies.

And the mention that the planet's radius is 2.4 times that of Earth, which makes it a much larger planet indeed and unless the entire planet is made out of balsa wood, the gravity on the surface would probably be just a wee bit out of the range of tolerance for anything human. Bet they have one hell of a football team though. Tough, tough bastards.

Heavy gravity with lots of water.

With some luck, Mod-Rat would drown in seconds.

Sorry... cancel pic on 17. Some smartass photoshopped a Star of David on the pic... I didn't notice until I saw the real pic.
