    Bit of an update for this post: If we end up finding a Habitable Exoplanet around Proxima, I'm going to change the name of this post so we can talk about the planetary system, and I'd like 1 thing please: 1: Someone, ANYONE to make a planet pack for it. Fingers crossed for a planetary system/habitable planet around Proxima!

    Part of the reason, I believe, is that the public didn't want anything related to nuclear in LEO, they thought that if something went wrong, the radiation would be spread across the world and everyone would die:/ Luckily, the dream hasn't died: http://news.discovery.com/space/galaxies/want-a-starship-think-big-think-really-big-131029.htm

    Planetary resources is working on Asteroid mining, and the UN said "No" to NPP a long time ago.
  4. Spaceception
    That would be a great scenario. Fingers crossed

    40-70 Years with tech like NPP, or Solar sails, or an advanced VASIMR drive.
  6. Spaceception
    Oh awkward.

    Best case scenario, what do you think would happen? Also, the only "Near-ish-term" technology that could get us to the stars well within a human lifetime with time dilation is anti-matter rockets, which you would go to Jupiter for, but we still don't know how to collect/contain enough of it for a long time, as well as a magnetic sail to filter the anti-matter, and the magnetic nozzle to channel the explosion of matter/anti-matter smashing together.

    All of those exoplanets are 11-17 ly, if we tried to go to them, it'd take longer than a human lifespan, while in the case of Proxima, we could get there in a human lifespan with current/near-term tech. Granted it'd take 40-70 years, but still. It would take a spectral analysis through a transit. We could still do a long-term study of what it would take. Really? This article says otherwise. http://www.space.com/24894-exoplanets-habitable-zone-red-dwarfs.html

    Have you heard of the James Webb Space Telescope? Don't you think that interstellar travel and exoplanet hunting would be closer studied?
  10. Spaceception
    Well, NASA employees do play KSP, and probably go on the forums. So.... maybe.

    What do you guys think the implications would be if we found a habitable exoplanet around Proxima?
  12. Spaceception
    MOAR!!
  13. Spaceception
    When we figure out sustainable Deuterium Fusion, it should be possible, really difficult, but possible
  14. Spaceception
    I kinda don't want there to be life on Mars, so we can Colonize/Terraform without the UN getting in the way. I much rather it be Europa that has life.

    It's about time!!!! We're FINALLY doing a detailed search for potentially habitable exoplanets around our closest neighbor (Other than the sun), Proxima Centauri!!! The observing will take about 2 months and will use the Doppler method to find them. Youtube video Website Twitter (Use the # Pale Red Dot) Facebook Yay!!! June 19th, 2017, ESO has launched a second campaign to search for planets around Barnard's star, and Ross 154! As well as continuing the search for additional planets around Proxina centauri.

    Ooooooh, another planet mod, me likey.
  17. Spaceception
    I never learned, not because i didn't pay attention, but because I thought they were boring.

    Dammit Jim! I'm a Spaceflight enthusiast, not a fish biologist!
  19. Spaceception
    Fish would consume air? And the food that fish would need could be grown hydrophonicly
  20. Spaceception
    I really want to give you rep, but it won't let me, why can't I give out more than 25 likes!?
  21. Spaceception
    You don't superfreeze anti-mater, you contain it magnetically. And anything that uses anti-matter will not be sate to use.
  22. Spaceception
    A vacation joint, Unless we develop ultrafast propulsion technology's, like fusion drives, getting stuff from Mars to Earth would be stupid and worthless. If it were the question of the Moon, and NEO's, it'd be metals.
  23. Spaceception
    Aww, I was hoping for a moon base:( Why can't governments just fund these things!?
  24. Spaceception
    No, I wasn't specific enough.
  25. Spaceception
    The plant life would recycle the air (Which should be adequate on that scale), and would mostly be food.
