A huddle of seven worlds, all close in size to Earth, and perhaps warm enough for water and the life it can sustain. wow how many times to the near planet??
That is great and all, but good luck travelling 40 light years to get there. I dont think humans will ever travel that far into space, well atleast not anytime in the near several decades.
... Really? I didn't think we could even find earthsized planets yet. Although its been several years since I last looked into such things, only supersized planets were identifyable back then iirc (although finding waterworlds is nothing new)
I by no means trying to condescend this great achievement of NASA. I am a prick though. Adding a question mark might have misled you, if so I do apologize.
speed of light = 29.979km / sec while the sound speed while speed ever penetrated man is mach 20 is 20.476km / h ... so .... the speed of light: 29.979x60 = 1.798.740km / h 1.798.740x24 = 43.16976 million = 1 day light 43.16976 million x360 = 1554111 rank 10 = 1 light year the speed of sound: 20.476km / h in a vacuum 20.476x24 = 491 424 = 1 day trip fastest man 491 424 176 912 640 x360 = = 1 year voice Now we multiply the ranks 1554111 10 x 39 in (proxima b) the closest exoplanet habitable living beings = 6061033 rank 11 so if at the speed of sound How many years until the destination 6.061.033 rank11: 176 912 640 = 3,426,003,365 year wkwkwkw speed of light
I lost you when you used the speed of sound for space travel PS: Forget actually achieving the speed of light, if you calculate the time it would take to accelerate to the speed of light that a human can bare (and decelerate) the length of time is already ridiculous.
They should focus on developing spaceship that could travel faster rather than discovering new planets to add on the list we can't ever realistically travel to
Yah, what really makes you think is with all of the earth like planets out there one is bound to have life in some form but our chances of ever seeing it or physically going there are infinitesimally small.
I'm sorry? Sound doesn't exist in a vacuum... In any case, most of our spaceships and satellites go way faster than the speed of sound, so... If you can provide the funding, sure. Give NASA billions of dollars, right now, so they can get to R&D. Our current President has talked about cutting part of their funding too, so you may have to fork over even more. But in case you didn't know, NASA does quite a lot of things, so I feel you should keep your ignorance to yourself.
ERM, not quite... Speed of light aka c = 299 792 458 m / s = ~300.000 km/sec Also, I doubt the viability of trans-system travel without a way to skip space, simply due to cosmic radiation and debris that would muck up your journey. Also, we are about as far away from developing FTL drives as we are from developing the needed generations ships so I can simply choose my sci-ri (scientific reality)
