Scientists discover new Earth-sized planets and 2017 is suddenly looking up
Finally — some good
news. NASA has found what pretty much appears to be a backup solar system a
mere 40 light-years away. And not a moment too soon.
Scientists discovered seven
Earth-sized exoplanets circling a dwarf star, TRAPPIST-1, and everyone on Earth
is ready to sign up for a one-way ticket to the new system. (Using current
technology, it would be nearly impossible for humans to get to the planetary
system, however. #Thanks2017.)
Everyone also
immediately made the scientific achievement about the 45th president. With
seven new worlds suddenly available, the possibilities seemed endless.
Earthlings could send Trump to the new system. He could mess up these
exoplanets before destroying Earth. Or we could all flee to these new worlds
and leave Trump behind.
Twitter
was filling up with Trump and TRAPPIST-1
jokes as soon as NASA made the announcement.
Now we just need to
decide which planet to go to once the forces of manmade climate change make our
own Earth uninhabitable. Dibs on Trappist-1f.
BONUS: The first manned
hoverbike could finally fulfill your 'Star Wars' dreams

ReplyDeleteWhat do you mean “NEARLY” - do you know anyone capable of travelling at speeds, that would allow a human to just barely make it out there in the span of a lifetime? Or do you mean, just before the human corpus is turned to dust on the road to getting there? 😂
NASA is one big HOLLYWOOD that is ran by government and funded by American people with its TaX money. When will we realized everything is done behind curtains, green screen and CGI's. We never even make it out of space and to the Moon...
ReplyDeleteSo pathetic this is a great scientific discovery and people can't get over themselves and their petulance
ReplyDeleteBanish Trump to one of these planets and it would make the joy complete.
ReplyDeleteTrump and his anti-science, anti-fact acolytes will surely call this fake news, or call for a travel ban.
ReplyDeleteOmg. As long as they have good beings and a great environment, cool. But if they're messy like us, let's not contaminate them.
ReplyDeleteEarth is a great planet. Our planet is the best planet. We will build a wall around our planet and aliens will pay for it
ReplyDeleteWouldn't it be totally amazing to be able to see or to be on the surface of these planets. Just to witness them
ReplyDeleteI envy those who will one day get to see them
Everyone made the same joke and it's still funny
ReplyDeleteYou mean before Planet X tears us up :)
ReplyDeleteThe rapist?
ReplyDeleteNASA: "We Are Not Saying It's Aliens... But It's Aliens." :D
ReplyDeleteIt's a Trap-pist
ReplyDeleteYeah, Trap ist in!!!
ReplyDeleteIn 2017, have you found out now?
ReplyDelete2017 is suddenly looking up.
