  1. https://planetplanet.net/2016/08/24/the-eyeball-planet-next-door-a-proxima-poem/ This is pretty cool
  2. Okay, okay, now the real question arises. Who's going to make this system in KSP?
  3. I'm rewriting "The Void" to make it more realistic, and there will be 2, maybe 3 targets.

    Proxima b, obvious choice. 4.2 ly

    GJ 876 c or b, not sure yet, hey @ProtoJeb21 is it possible for c to have a Moon, say, 2 to 4x the mass of our Moon with a thin atmosphere, and small lakes? 15.2 ly

    And either a moon around HR 8832 g or HD 69830 d, which one would you rather me send my interstellar explorers?

      @ProtoJeb21 Like a protoplanet that formed with a lot of ice in the outer solar system, made its way to planet  69830 d, and got captured, making it a double planet system?

      It could be a tropical ocean world with a mass of 1.6 Earths, no ice caps, but small islands around the poles.

      Or for Nerrivik, would it be a warm titan with a thick hazy atmosphere, and small liquid water lakes?

      Maybe HD 69830 d could have encountered some proto-planet when it was young. The secondary member of that system could be 3-5 times the mass of Earth.

      A moon around Nerrivik would be very similar to Titan, including its temperature. That moon, which I have made for IA-Revived and named "Kokksaut", is covered with green and orange exotic life forms.

      @ProtoJeb21 Why can't the temperature be above freezing? If it has a thick atmosphere, and orbits in the HZ, shouldn't be temperate?

  4. Not necessarily, Mercury has a weak magnetic field, but no Moon. So I guess we just have to wait and see, more reason to fund Starshot, right?
  5. Tomorrow, tomorrow, I love ya, tomorrow You're only a day away! http://www.universetoday.com/130419/eso-announcement-address-reports-proxima-centauri-exoplanet/#
  6. I'm not that far in, all I need to do is change some names, and take away/add some things. But that's another possibility.
  7. If there is a potentially habitable exoplanet around Proxima, should I change the destination? Or keep using Lalande?
  8. Now that there's 6, where are they going to put it?
  9. YES!!!!! At the end of August, ESO will formally annouce an Exoplanet, potentially habitable, around Proxima. WHOO! http://www.seeker.com/new-nearby-earth-like-planet-discovered-1970197349.html
  10. @Scotius is now a member! and has been for the last 8 rep.
  11. Nice Holy grail reference
  12. Don't worry, I haven't given up, just remember, there's times when I don't have internet, so even if I finish some chapters, it'll be awhile till I get them here.
  13. My question is simple: Can birds evolve to have softer, shorter beaks, and something of a mouth so they can talk or maybe sound similarly to rodents or apes? The reason being, beaks wouldn't be much of an evolutionary advantage due to them inventing weapons, so they would also develop a wider language. it just needs to be possible, with a brief explanation that I can use for my book. Thanks
  14. Progress update!!! While I haven't written much due to writers block and moving, I've now got a HUGE amount of good ideas (Check the sci/space section soon, I need something answered) Also, sadly, Genesis is delayed to early/mid next year when I've made much more progress on The Void and this. Also, the length of The Void will be similar to The Prisoner of Azkaban, while this will be between that and the Goblet of Fire, probably closer to the length of Goblet of fire )
