Hmmm... I know some folks who're working on real warp drive research. It's actually not that hard to understand as a concept, or to anticipate technologically.

But it will be a bit before we have FTL ships, so I think I'd stick to Mars as at least an appetizer.

Actually, chlorophyll detection would be better, IMHO. I'd freak if it was found in high quantities out there.

This is wrong.

According to my calculations at least 95% of stars similar to ours have orbiting planets.

You heard it here first, folks.

"I think that plain old gravitational attraction "

I agree, and do not see a problem with seeding the gas disk with a few 1 km objects. Space junk happens.

I'm for the main course! It should be interesting to see the reaction be when we do find a Earth like planet.
