-- Posted by HatesYou at 8:31 am on Aug. 6, 2008 Gliese 581 C.  A second Earth? Maybe. There's also Gliese 581 D. However. C is too hot, a bit like Venus only this planet does not orbit around it's star, and the temperature isn't as extreme as Venus. Instead, one side faces the sun at all times, and the other side does not. So if you'd like to see a sunset here, you'd have to get your ass up and drive to the other side. Which is understandable and doable. http://www.space-art.co.uk/images/artwork/exoplanets/Super-Earth.jpg" target="_top">http://http://www.space-art.co.uk/images/artwork/exoplanets/Super-Earth.jpg D is too cold.   http://a52.g.akamaitech.net/f/52/827/1d/www.space.com/images/strange_spc_exoplanet_02.jpg" target="_top">http://http://a52.g.akamaitech.net/f/52/827/1d/www.space.com/images/strange_spc_exoplanet_02.jpg But think about it. We have places like this in Earth. I mean the Antarctic? It's fucking freezing up there, yet life exists. Same goes for Deserts.  They lack water, and the temperature is pretty intense, yet life is still there. Therefore, it is very possible that life just may be out there. Kepler is said to be released in 2009. This telescope will scan through stars and galaxies so that when looking for Earth-like planets, such as we are now -only with a more shitlike telescope -our findings will result to be a bit more accurate.  And exciting. Oh and don't get me started on Mars. This planet has been giving signs of life for quite some time. Scientists are still working on discovering some hard evidence. BUT this could mean that we've had two examples of life. Right here, in our very own Solar System. 2012?!? I think not. We've only begun.  There's so much more out there. So many possibilities of intelligent life out there in the Cosmos. Discuss. -- Posted by fizzle123 at 8:32 am on Aug. 6, 2008 dont it makes me depressed. 2012 year of the olympics:D -- Posted by Permious at 8:33 am on Aug. 6, 2008 i really doubt there's intelligent life out there. maybe a plant or something. -- Posted by Latin Muscle at 8:34 am on Aug. 6, 2008 Basic stuff. And lol i still laugh at the apes who think we will die  2012. And the ignorant fools who think there is no life out there, are silly. -- Posted by Lulu Nobody at 8:36 am on Aug. 6, 2008 I've always found it absurd that in the entirety of the universe, human beings and the other creatures that inhabit the Earth were the only living things out there. I strongly believe that there is, maybe not close to us, another planet or other solar systems where life exists. -- Posted by Xjord101290X at 8:37 am on Aug. 6, 2008 bacteria is ALL those planets have... maybe in a few billion years they'll have developed into actual creatures, but Earth will have died out by then... so there's no point in researching it... -- Posted by HatesYou at 8:38 am on Aug. 6, 2008 Quote: from latin muscle at 11:34 am on Aug. 6, 2008 Basic stuff. Yah but those apes you speak of need this basic shit. -- Posted by r o c 1 at 8:38 am on Aug. 6, 2008 wow cool....... those new earths? -- Posted by Latin Muscle at 8:39 am on Aug. 6, 2008 Quote: from Lulu Nobody at 8:36 am on Aug. 6, 2008 I've always found it absurd that in the entirety of the universe, human beings and the other creatures that inhabit the Earth were the only living things out there.

Well said. -- Posted by HatesYou at 8:42 am on Aug. 6, 2008 Quote: from Lulu Nobody at 11:36 am on Aug. 6, 2008 I strongly believe that there is, maybe not close to us, another planet or other solar systems where life exists. Which is exactly what Gliese 581 C and Gliese 581 D have the possibility of proving. -- Posted by zamrambo at 8:52 am on Aug. 6, 2008 Deserts here sustain life because people get their water elsewhere. It doesn't tend to work when there is no water whatsoever. -- Posted by HatesYou at 8:54 am on Aug. 6, 2008 Quote: from zamrambo at 11:52 am on Aug. 6, 2008 Deserts here sustain life because people get their water elsewhere.

Because they have so many Earth-like qualities.
