If there is a meaning to life, it's to explore every inch of The Universe we can. I understand the appeal of "building undersea waterworlds" Stefan, but the idea is a bit far-fetched. The pressure in space isn't really much of a problem, personally i'd prefer us to concentrate almost all of humanity's efforts to space exploration and propulsion research, but no doubt we would get a lot of good practice by learning how to cope with the pressure under the sea. We won't be getting anywhere near to Suns or Jupiter until we find out how to tackle that problem. The cost of ground and space based telescopes is well worth it for the benefit.

We are talking about a trip taking 1.08 million years.... A return trip in excess of 2 million years. I just don't have the patience for this type of trip.... Does anyone have a spare time machine???? As one light year currently equates to 8500 earth years. We are talking about a trip taking 1.08 million years…. A return trip in excess of 2 million years.

Does anyone have a spare time machine????

Solar system is the one that has our sun (Sol) at the center. Just FYI. That’s interesting, but shouldn’t it be called a star system? Solar system is the one that has our sun (Sol) at the center.

I really lived the "wonders if the solar system" series with Brian Cox. It's discoveries like this that make you feel that the possibility of finding a home from home may really happen. That’s great.

We'd be better off building underwater sea worlds and better ways to generate heat and power Still cool stuff, I just think it's a waste of money. What do you think? Couple other things... do you write these blog posts and ever tried an en-mass twitter or blog trick? Have a nice weekend.
