I read a newspaper a few days ago and it said that the scientists have found a planet that looks just like ours! And it's in our galaxy too. However we only have the pics of that strange planet, to get more data we will have to land. So we will be aliens to someone! It's a high risk but there are ppl that are willing to take that risk, for the ppl that live there might want to be friends with us, but they can be evil too... Who knows. Anyway that planet has water, air, the atmosphere, clouds and ofcourse the sun! All we need to do is to find out who lives there.

You know how Final Fantasy is about different storys? Each story takes place in a different planet, that is not our Earth. Those different characters look like us! There's a hope that people in that planet looks like the humans....

Meh...honestly, I don't really approve of any sort of landing that we'd be doing, if we're going to do it.

Reason?

As Matrix-ish as it sounds, humans are a plague. Once we land and we find that the environment is indeed similar to our own, we're going to want to settle there. Once we make successful settlements, we'll multiply and consume the resources of that planet. By the time Earth is out of resources, there will be even more who will want to go to this new planet and live there. Like the Earth is now, that planet will be overpopulated by humans. What will become of this new planet given a few dozen generations? It will bear the same problems that we have here on Earth.

So until we are accustomed to living without using large amounts of nonrenewable resources (ie oil), we should stay off of that planet for now. Or any other planets, for that matter.

I agree with the poster above me, mostly because humans don't know how to evualate and use things probably without using too much of it. Most people don't care because by the time the world ends, they are gonna be dead, well that is my opinion. Though, as much as I hate to say it rich people, probably know how not to over use things that are not their maids or butler. We would over populate that planet like this, it took thousands of years reach 2 billion and in 50 yeasr we went from 2 to around 8.

I also agree with the posters above, but I would be lieing if I weren't excited about such this. Other than that, it would take a really really long time to reach such a planet with our current technology. I mean, NASA's having trouble getting to Mars because they have to carry too much feul aboard the ship to get there.

The aliens on that planet probably are more advanced than us. All these Ufo sightings are probably from that planet. They havent made contact with us to leave us to do our own thing. When we go to their planet I'm betting within a year we will be at war with them.

I would be happy for humans to land on that planet... i wouldnt really see it would be good to spread the population out a little

Absolutely. I agree and until we learn how to stop draining OUR planet, we morally dont have the right to take resources from other planets that belong to other lifeforms.

Do you have any Images of this "planet" because I dont believe you one bit sorry =P

August 20, 2007, 7:59 PM

You know, there isn't actually any proof that there's sentient life on that other planet. Just because it has an environment similar to that of Earth, doesn't mean it is populated. And it will take close to a century for us to get there with the current methods we have. By the time humans do get there, we'll all be long dead and forgotten about.

This is the best post on this thread. As I was reading everyone's posts I was thinking the exact same things as Pooley mentioned. We have people comparing this planet to FF games, and others making assumptions that there is already life there. I mean it is great an all that there is a planet similar to ours outside of this solar system, but we gotta get logical about it.
