Looks like the Jersey Pine Barrens. But with personality. Christy orbiting is a nice touch.

It depends on who else are going there.

Of course our first order of business would be to eradicate all of the local flora and fauna — just to be safe.

Oh, I dunno. Mail service would be about the same.

Maybe liberals would want to migrate there? Then they could build their Utopian society from scratch. Without any interference from opposing politicians, without interference from voters who might just elect conservative candidates, without constraints from our existing capitalist economic infrastructure and people’s ingrained attitudes.

A place like this should be heaven on earth to liberals. No one to stand in the way of creating their Nirvana.

Amusing speculation. However given the laws of physics no biological or functioning mechanical entity could reach them from us or us to them. However Earth has been transmitting huge amounts of analog data for the past century and huge amounts of digital data for the past thirty. wold not be far fetched in the next thirty years to receive transmissions from a distant civilization which in turn is linked with a chain of other distant civilizations. We however can never visit them nor they visit us.

What would it be like? Well everything would be blue, the people would be cats and have blue skin and evil Americans would come and blow up trees

From the article;

“Measurements suggest that Kepler-186f is 11 percent larger than Earth, though it’s not possible to pinpoint the exoplanet’s gravity without knowing its composition. If the exoplanet were “rocky” like Earth (made up of one-third iron and two-thirds silicate rock, water and ice), its gravity would be similar to Earth’s, according to calculations by researchers.”

Gravity is a Bi88h.

You can only count on two things here:

1) Gods creation is so large, it’s very probable there is other life in the galaxy and beyond.

2) As soon as said life is discovered, they will be registered to vote democrat.
