It's only 20.5 light years away in the constellation of Libra. I think I might pay it a visit for my holidays this year Think we can claim it in the name of THN?
We should tell the Japanese we found a planet full of giant tentacle monsters and their females are somehow little school girls. We'll be going there in a week.
Pessimism. Pah! Phooey! I swear I must be the only true optimist left on the planet. (Yea, I'm aware that statement is pessimistic that's why it's funny)
THE MOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOON, or mars mars is possible and closer dont forget the martains tho! they might eat you and then spread your blood over the fields! ^_^
and no, bad psi your not allowed to speak of the animez
I'd just say we hire some physicians ... let them calculate the most direct way to that sweet new planet and then we send the earth there! Concerning the energy we need to get our planet there ... hmm ... I'd say we blow the sun sky high and that should do the trick ( I LOOOOVE EXPLOSIONS *mad smile)
Anyway, if we just freeze some people and shoot them off in a giant orbital cannon in the right direction ... The first humans to meet the tentacal monsters!!!
You could implement some sort of braking device for them so they have a semi-soft landing, not that it would matter because they're frozen! Popsicles for the monsters .
