Its all awesome - but the closest one I've seen mentioned is 6 light years away, IIRC. That means, even at the speed of light, it will take 6 years to get there. We don't travel anywhere near the speed of light.
I wanna know!!

What if you took off from a conveyor belt in a RV-10????
I wonder if the inhabitants have messed their planet up as much as we have ours.Do the other Earths have aviation user fees?

Enviromentally or Politically??
Psh...that's nothin. Mine made the Kessel Run in eleven parsecs.
(The original line does annoy me, however.)
Apparently it was intentional, the idea being that if you could only go so fast, making the trip shorter would get you there sooner
The most convincing proof that there is intelligent life out there is that they have made no effort to contact us.
.....
I think its the Fox / Rush crowd spitting up what they get fed all day long. Just a guess on that, I really don't know...
Sadly, it makes sense. Knowing how flaky and hysterical Mankind as a group can be, if I were them I'd be very, very circumspect about it. Maybe they have a "Prime Directive"; just greeting us all, publicly and officially, would cause such chaos, it could be deemed direct interference.The most convincing proof that there is intelligent life out there is that they have made no effort to contact us.
We're you banned from the SZ, and thus have to post this tripe in a non-SZ post, or do you just have no sense do humor whatsoever?Why do you guys dump on our species? "Proof they're intelligent is they haven't contacted us" and the 'politically or environmentally' jab with multiple nodding head agreements...
If you don't the the political folks representing you then vote them out. If you don't like the rules protecting our environment then tell your reps.if you think aliens are avoiding us then I don't know what to suggest.
I just don't understand this group dumping on the group mentality.

Seems that all too many of the folks I vote for don't get elected either. That said, all to many of the ones I helped elect haven't done all that much good either.I've voted 3rd party/written in for the past 7 elections, don't blame me for the problems.

Because this is America there are actually quite few here who can afford airplanes, 80% of world's GA takes place in this country. I could afford a new 172 even though I am an immigrant, my wife doesn't work, never owned any business, strictly on salary. I don't think I could even afford 172's engine if I remained where I came from. Sorry but it is a lunacy to convert a planet-searching topic into "Fox/Rush crowd" tripe.But this is America and we have a lot of people who can't come close to affording a new Cessna 172
This thread is a prime example of why we don't want to make contact with you Earthlings.
We are having way too much fun just blending in and watching you go about your lives.
EDIT: The word "we" should be read as "they".
To my view, I see my guy Obama try and try and try to reach across to the right only to be snubbed by them...
Oh, yeah, he's a regular diplomat.
They ARE here
It said in the paper that it would take a little over twenty one million years for us to travel to those planets using todays technology. LoPresti is for sure going to be needed. http://www.speedmods.com/
