Fuck yeah I am!

Now we just need to find Prothean ruins on Mars, and we're good to go!

Feels like we might catch a glimpse of other life.

I was born too early.

>>1201910
We'd better get our asses to mars, then.

>>1201918
I was born 200 years too early or 200 years too late.

>>1201910
An d then we thaw out Charon and BOOM! Hello, galactic community.

This is immoral! God created earth and you are not allowed to visit the heavens uninvited. Colonizing other planets is a sin!

>>1201983

We wont even be able to reach these planets for who knows how long.

>>1201985
We'll reach them instantaneously using quantum teleportation.

>>1201983
That's OK, you're not coming.

>>1201983
I don't think any real Christians believe this, I think some of them don't even think there's anything beyond Earth's atmosphere.

>>1201983
Bible Verse, please?

>>1201991
...

Didn't the catholic church already explicitly state that they're cool with our space bros?

>>1201991
>quantum teleportation

More like:
Murder relocation rebuilder.

>>1201995
>>1201998
>>1202003
Sure looked like a joke to me. Did you guys fail to see that too?

>>1201991
>quantum teleportation

I bet the creators of mass effect will shit themselves if we actually find technology on mars.

>>1202042
Well, let's go find some shit, then.

My body...is ready.

>>1202032
Finding shit on Mars is an old sci-fi thing, the concept's been around for decades.

how many of them have water?

>>1201991
Back to school little one.

>>1202068

There's at least one that has water and could harbour life.

>>1202085

>>1202085
If you wouldn't suck moot's dick ur gay

>>1202098

LOOK OUT

AYE, AVAST

Goddammit I leave for two minutes and my thread turhns into a penisfest GJ assholes.

we should message all 700 simultaneously with an ASCII image of the universe

>>1202156
>>1201906
>Who's excited?

You asked.

I could have been great 500 years back
It would be great 500 years into the future
but which should I pick?

>>1202169
O

>>1202182
500 years back = odds are you die of plague/famine/dysentery/sword by 13

>>1202186
and make sure we use an inverted system of messaging (darkness means 1, light means 0)

>about the size of earth

Earthlike worlds...? That means... Higher chance of humanoid sentients...

HAHAHA DELICIOUS XENOPHILIA

>>1202194

Just use radioglyphs ffs.

>>1202201
Oh you

I can't be the first, but ctrl-f tells me so.

feels good man.

What can we actually see with these telescopes, though? As exciting as it is, we can still barely see Pluto for pity's sake.

>>1202261
It almost won't matter what we can see. Shit's so far away.

>>1202269

Well, no, I don't believe that. I just want to know what we could decipher. We might be able to... What? Guess the atmospheric content of these planets?

As interesting as that is, forgive me for wanting HD images of life on an alien world up close like the camera is two feet away. Sure, that's unrealistic to hope for, but I want to see something my mind was not meant to comprehend.

inb4Cthulhu.

>>1202261

We won't be able to see shit.

Observe, on the other hand... We will be able to determine the characteristics of their exoplanets, see if they are inhabitable.

But in the end, no matter how advanced your equipment is, you need to actually get there, and say "Yep, it's inhabitable". For all we know it could have a deadly atmospheric compound that didn't show up in the spectroscopy or some sort of alien life that can kill you in ways you couldn't even imagine.

>>1202298

Most likely that'll happen regardless. If we didn't evolve to the atmosphere, odds are good it'll contain SOMETHING that's deadly to us. Plus, odds are low we'll be able to eat anything there.

Also, Colonel Coffee Mug is an awesome name.

>Most likely that'll happen regardless. If we didn't evolve to the atmosphere, odds are good it'll contain SOMETHING that's deadly to us. Plus, odds are low we'll be able to eat anything there.

Yeah it's unlikely that the colonists will be able to digest alien proteins. Unless, of course, that we do science to them.

Eden Planets will be rare, and I think terraforming, while it might be awesome for dickwaving in front of aliens and saying "WE CHANGED AN ENTIRE WORLD HAHA", might not be viable for the timescale it takes. It might be better to just modify ourselves, humanity splitting up into different subspecies each one adapted to its own world.

Xenophilia ensues >:3~

>Also, Colonel Coffee Mug is an awesome name.

Thank you old chap.

>>1202410

If we can genetically augment ourselves to such an immense degree, it might be well possible for us to live indefinitely and, therefore, have the timescale necessary for terraforming be more reasonable.

Not cost-effective either way, though, so modifying works best.

>>1201906
>In 2014 we should have a telescope powerful enough to make spectrometric measurements
are you talking about the ELT?

>>1202539
Would that be the imaginatively named "extremely large telescope"?

>>1202440

The good thing about extreme lifespans is that we won't mind that it takes 40 years to travel to these planets.

>>1202548
>very large telescope (1998)
>extremely large telescope (2014)
>Fucking big large telescope (2027)
whats next

>>1202024
Lol how does I shot consciousness

>>1201983
Cool story bro!

>>1202114
Sause?

>>1202590
It's kind of like
>Large Hadron Collider (2009)
>Super Large Hadron Collider (2019)
>Very Large Hadron Collider (2059)

>>1202590
>>1202639
super size that please

>>1202639
Super large is bigger than very large

FUCK YEAH can't wait to bone some space vixens.

Does OP have link to this information? This is the first I've heard of it. Or is he just outlining a hypothetical?

OH FUCK REALLY?

GIVE ME SOME SOURCE MANG I WANNA READ THE DATAAAA

and is this earthlike as in earth-sized and at an earth-distance from the parent star? if so, holy shit hello life being a common denominator in the universe

>>1204399
>Implying that you didn't get my sarcasm

>>1202020
yup. Brothers in god, wherever they may be ect. I'd shit a cathedral if we found a couple sentient races with monotheistic religions, and some of them with a "messiah" some long period of time ago.

>>1202020
Only so they can try and convert them.

ohfuckdowantdowantdowant

SWEET FUCKING JESUS!
In a single data release Kepler may have just doubled or even TRIPLED the number of known exoplanets!
So much for planets being a rarity!
