Super-Earth Could Possibly Support Life

The potentially habitable super-Earth, officially called HD 85512 b, is estimated to be only 3.6 times more massive than Earth, and its parent star is located about 35 light-years away, making it relatively nearby. HD 85512 b was found to orbit at the edge of its star's habitable zone, which is a narrow region in which the distance could be just right that liquid water could exist given the right conditions. Remember, water is life and without water there can be no life as we know it.

I'm sorry, but I can't help but think of Mass Effect and stealing precious metals and minerals from planets whenever I hear about new planetary discoveries lol.

What if when we go there someday and we turn out to someday be the greedy aliens that we fear today and enslave or kill this planet's inhabitants?

Now, is that kind of power more appealing or than it is scary?

@ForceFedFetusFillet It's not about theology. Anyway, while the film has been praised by some for being "compellingly edited," it has also been criticized for many factual inaccuracies, with critics describing it as "agitprop" and "propaganda." Mr. Joseph is the "devil's advocate," which means he is a person who champions the worse cause for the sake of argument.
