Cool… enough to live on…

Planet found in ‘habitable zone’ of nearby star

Am I alone when I think… damn, I think it’s time for an interplanetary roadtrip. Of course, assuming you accelerate at roughly the speed of gravity for half a year, hit half the speed of light, and travel at that speed… it would still take you 41 years to get there… It’d be a one way trip. To possibly a planet with a hostile atmosphere. And a gravitational pull of 22m/s^2 (don’t jump off that hill… ahh!). But still!

Although something tells me I wouldn’t be allowed to go. I mean, if you’re going to start a Utopian Earth colony, the first thing you don’t want to send is a politician…

    I’d be the first one to volunteer the following visionary politicians to be shot into space (in no particular order):

    Mahmoud Amedinijad (sp?) President of iran
    George W. Bush.
    Dick Cheney,
    Stephen Harper
    Jason Kenney
    John Baird
    Rob Anders
    Hugo Chavez

    I’m sure there are others but this group will get us a long way.
    Here’s to Utopia (on Earth with these guys gone).

    Cheers,

    What do you mean, in no particular order? Certainly all at once!
