Life On Newly Discovered Earthesqe Planet? “Almost No Doubt”

Posted by on September 30th, 2010

Seriously, pack your bags. We found a new Earth and I am personally going to wait at Cape Canaveral until someone will sell me a ticket on the first Space Ark to Splitsville.

Our new digs are right in the Goldilocks Zone and according the team that located it, the chances of life are pretty, pretty, pretty, pretty good.

And the planet’s discoverers are optimistic about the prospects for finding life there.

“Personally, given the ubiquity and propensity of life to flourish wherever it can, I would say, my own personal feeling is that the chances of life on this planet are 100 percent,” said Steven Vogt, a professor of astronomy and astrophysics at the University of California, Santa Cruz, during a press briefing today. “I have almost no doubt about it.”

Now if you’ll excuse me I am going to be running up all my credit cards. Try and follow me with that score to space, suckers!

    Now all we need to do is figure out how to get rid of all the little blue people already living there.

    Sweet! Although they need to find a new name for it other than GJ 581g. Sounds like we need to start tearing down the pyramids, but it’s “only” 20 light years away.
