Potentially Habitable Planets (5 pics)

you know, as cool as this is (and trust me, its freaking awesome to me), it serves no purpose to find these planets because man will never be able to get to them. unfortunetly

Unless we can bend time and space

bowlervtec,
that is not true, we already have technologies needed to reach those planets, but in a thousand years journey

I WANT TO BELIEVE

Quick, someone start building the Stargate

Deathunter,
all we need is a stage n actor, n sum stupid guy to take a pic and say, first pic of human contact.

"Potentially habitable" means nothing if we cannot explore them and see if they meet the EXTREMELY long list required to meet a habitable planet. Cool these planets exist in the habitable zone, (close enough to the sun for liquid water, far enough away to prevent high temperatures) but this is just one of the billions of requirements needed.

Rare Earth Hypothesis. Look it up.

The smallest one is three times the earth size, meaning if its composed out of the same or similar materials, we would be crushed under our own weight.

I want to visit those planet

instead of wars we should spend money on sending millions of satellites all over the universe and maybe one comes across another earth where intelligent life form exists that have the technology to make these distances.
based on the number of planets there is no way that life has not occured somewhere else too it may be just too far away for us

poor scientists, still eager to find some proof of life in other planets.

Instead of looking and searching for another planet why not take care of earth? I think its better, and less expensive. :)

We can look at them and that's it. Shame.

interesting, some day...
