Message to Luyten b (GJ 273b)

[ProtoJeb21]

Finally, some people are giving Luyten b the respect it deserves. I'm shocked that such an Earth-like planet (2.9 M_E, temp of 259^oK, stellar flux of 1.06) has gone completely under the radar until now.

Also, here's my Wikipedia page for Luyten b:

SQUAD should partner with METI to donate a complementary copy of KSP to the residents of that system.

I heard about this! GJ 273b is a really cool planet, I was surprised that no one is talking about it a lot, same with GJ 3323b

And as they are carnivorous krakens hunting small brainless biped grass-eaters, they will exclaim: "Fooood!!!"

It's clear that a this is an Easter Egg, a self-portrait of the game author, sleeping after a lunch with a piece of food staying nearby.

After getting to the Earth they will be searching it to thank.

GJ 3323b might actually be a Venus analogue. The PHL estimates a stellar flux and temperature lower than what the paper it was reported in gives. The planet actually receives about twice the light that Earth gets from the Sun. I'm putting my bets on the outermost planet, GJ 3323c, since it may be a "Super-Europa" or a frosty ocean world or a Titan-like planet.
