Ayy lmao.
Ayy lmao
how far away is this cunt?
40 light years.
>years
i asked for a distance retard
Fresh pictures just dropped
Looks promising
How many regular years is that?
Light years are a measurement of distance
About yea far away.
Approximately 40 years of travel in high speed car.
12.1 parsecs.
Anyone who didn't see this coming as the announcement must have never paid attention to NASA before
>Dude look we could live on this planet MAYBE
>No there's zero chance we could reach it lmao
>Dude give us more funding lmao
Space was a mistake.
>Polish schools don't teach kids about light years.
Sad!
A lot.
You best be baiting.
40 light-years = 2.351 × 10^14 miles
Kinda pointless but there you go
uou another bullshit
Literally shaking.
>>No there's zero chance we could reach it lmao
Nah, we could reach it if we tried.
It'd be a generation ship, though.
lmao
no life outside of Earth, God is real, evolution debunked
there must be life on Earth-like planets
>we firefly now
nice
all we gotta do now is build intergenerational spaceships and travel there in large solar sails
and of course by we i mean someone else
>never played Pokémon blue
damn that was an awesome bait, good job
Poland puttin' points on the board.
>and of course by we i mean someone else
Too bad we spent all research money on welfare for kangz and latrinos
40 light years is pretty close compared to the other ones isn't it? I mean we could probably listen for any kind of electronic emissions from the solar system.
Bogdangrad when?
Elon Musk was running over some numbers with Stephen Hawking last year. Alpha Centauri is about 4 year light years away. He apparently has a design that could get a ship or probe there in 20 years.
Not good enough speed for interstellar, but we could start building generational ships and colonizing new worlds potentially.
You ever just have the realization we are hurdling through space on a fucking rock around a giant ball of fire. I can't even ride a roller coaster. Really flairs my anxiety.

>All these people responding like he was being serious
baka desu lads
>NASA finds possibility of inhabitable plan
>literally called TRAPPIST-1
It's a fucking trap, faggots. This is like a bad b-movie.
Would Vietnamese be willing to go full Vietcong on the niggers for money?
Or are your skills only limited to your homeland?
Is this Real life?
Further proof poland can't into space.
WUZ
>fifth of lightspeed
How?
SPACE EXPLORERS AMD SHIEEEEEE
Wow better increase their funding. What are the chances?
now if only i could perfect my Albuquerque drive.....
I hope there aren't any aliens because then the US will be sending them money!
It would take 700,000 years to reach it with current technology, that's how close 40 light years is.

literally fuck this gay universe.
white privilege
That's for Elon Musk to patent and you to find out. I wouldn't be surprised if it involves some kind of nuclear tech that would have to get around a treaty.
Shut it down
>fuck like rabbits in space ship
>spread your genes to the whole planet(s) forever
>die happy
seems good to me
Voyager 1 has gone something like 14 light minutes since 1977
Same amount of time my Dad said he'd be back from the store when he went to get cigarettes.
3.78421136 × 1014 kilometers
Trans means opposite, it's from organic chemistry
Cis means same
Right but we'd only have a 40 year delay in communication back and forth and we might be able to actually hear some transmissions from them
12 parsecs
...
Voyager doesn't have a propulsion system on it.
kek
1 light year is roughly 17,000 earth years.
4 light years is obviously 68,000 years.
If he had technology to reduce that down to 20 years he would be the greatest inventor in all of human history.
You're speaking utter nonsense
very nice
Just imagine this
>somewhere out there
>place just like earth but all water maybe some islands here and there
>the sun/suns? Rise there and fall every day with no one to witness them
>a planet free of pollution and liberals. Devoid of life
>it has the same or possibly same potential as earth
>new animals and possibly ayys
>a planet that can be a fresh start without all these fucking normies
But
>it would take almost 800k years to get there
>700 trillion km
Damn black-user, I'm sorry
>3 in habitable zone
>humanity builds gigantic telescope to take a closer look
>finally built it, zooms in on every habitable planet
>they're inhabitated by niggers
I guess we will finally have a use for all the nuclear weapons on earth.
no but seriously: what are the chances that those 3 planets have life?
bbl gonna prep my bull
aussies BFTO
Imagine one planet full of niggers , one full of asians and one full of whites and each of them try to kill each other. Race War System
That was their big announcement?
Hype baiting waste of federal funds
150 years ago we didn't have light bulbs
Don't start claiming about what's impossible
just did the math on this and it would take over a million years to reach it at our current available speed.
so much for that
Fuck off space niggers
>700,000 years to reach it with current technology
wat
We already have the technology to propel craft up to 20% speed of light. So 40 light years would take 200 years at most for a probe to reach it. Then another 40 years for the signal to come back.
>Moving at 20% the speed of light
We could finally make Relativistic Kill Vehicles a reality.
Gas the reichs, space war now
no, our own system only has 3 earth like planets in the habitable zone as well.
It would be the same, just outside the habitable zone there will be more small rocks like earth, mars, and venus, instead of giant gas balls.
Only potentially cool sci-fi thing about this system would be if life evolved to sentient levels on all 3 planets and then found each other. That would be neat.
To bad the earth is flat
>flag
>not American
Kinda disappointed tbqh
Stop shitposting, we know all aliens are just blue women

480 light months
It's actually ~40 light hours...
14 light-minutes is less than 2 AU.
I didn't say impossible.
But that user is talking utter nonsense. He would've been making headlines everywhere. I haven't seen anything about it
Don't forget to invest in gender neutral genetic development
tfw gonna be too old to colonize and explore new planets
Fucking Amerikans controlled by Jews, they discover planets 40 light years away and can't discover Martians that are like 7 light days away... pfff amateurs
no, about 18hrs
Microprobes and solar sails. They just keep accelerating till they reach 20% of lightspeed.
This
Nice
I found it. Project details even are mentioned. Go fuck yourself.
iflscience.com
breakthroughinitiatives.org
The bogdown:
Make a tiny probe the size of a fingernail. Attach a giant solar sail on it. Shoot lightbeams at said sail from earth. Watch as it approaches 20% the speed of light in awe.

SO SAY WE ALL!
If you were going the speed of light (186,000 miles per second) it would take you 40 years to get there.
going to space is the most stupid fucking meme. i'm glad Trump is cutting NASAs budget, but I wish he would defund it entirely. We need that money elswhere.
Awesome, now we just have to find a way to shrink people down to a microscopic level.
With 700 trillion kilometers ahead of him, he's heading for certain death
>tfw
KILL ALL ZENOS
...
He cuts NASA budget to give it to Elon, so fuck you.
la tercera es la vencida
>implying they spend any serious amount of money purely looking for planets millions of miles away
They are doing research on the universe in general, these are just "fun facts" they report for plebs to think about
NASA's research has already paid dividends many times over
>they're all tidally locked
It's fucking nothing.
Wew.
