Before we can figure out a new technology to go to the star having a new life being, the world may be destroyed by human being ,not nature. That is the end of the world.
@pradyrocks100times Given enough time anything is physically possible. It will just take a few thousand years. The current fastest manmade spaceship speeds is 1.6 x 10^4 m/s (New Horizons spacecraft(2006)) . For a target star 4.3 light years away (Alpha Centauri), the time needed is T = S over V = 4.3 x 10 ^16 over 1.6 x 10 ^4 = ~2.7 x 10^12 sec = almost 90 thousand years or 900 centuries. Anyone fancies that ride?
@Neueregel but see, thats the thing, even if we had spacecrafts that travel at the speed of light.......it would take 4.4 years to get there, but the universe has a strict speed limit (light), and to reach the nearest habitant star (with a planet) it would still take centuries and thousands of years to get there. but here is the thing: we need to travel faster than light, and the speed of light is when time = 0 (when it stops), if we can travel faster, the time would maybe tick backwards
Humans should stop their imbecile wars. The money which nowadays is wasted with the military industrial complex should be used to protect Earth's environment, eradicate poverty and finance scientific programs like this. We need a flotilla of at least 10 Keplers!!!
Get a telescope to orbit the kepler 22b planet so we can find out if it has life or not :D
i really wana meet an alien before 2100 :p

the truth of 2012: buy furniture from Mor because there are no payments til 2014. since we'll be long dead by then, you get free furniture!

Interesting but they didn't mention anything about the best candidate, Kepler 22-b, (which has a low habitability index anyway.)

Even if they found a planet like earth, it would be physically impossible to get there with our technology, our best rockets

@237Michael We also need a constellation of interferometer telescopes to start producing images of these brave new worlds out there.

@237Michael I 100% agree with you.. sadly humans like to kill eachother.. I weep for humanity.
