The green comet!

How to see the 2023 green comet from wherever you are

Comet C/2022 E3, more commonly known as the green comet, was last seen by humans — as well as Neanderthals — during the Stone Age.

Rockets will be fine at first, but to make permanent colonization of Mars viable we will need faster means of transit. Significantly faster.

Thats warp speed is for!

Sound like the name of a third- rate superhero.

First comes the green comet.

Then comes these guys.

Proxima Centauri is 4.2 light years away, which is roughly 24 billion miles away.

Which would take about 4-8 years to travel to at 186,000 mps.

Sort of puts things in perspective…

That's an obscure old one. Day of the Triffids.

These deviating signals had narrow spectral widths that displayed non-zero drift rates, which means they showed that it emanated from a moving body relative to the signal location. Or in other words, it wasn’t a straight line return, it was a sloped signal that indicates the mass of the object is constantly moving/rotating, which = Planetary system.

If you think honestly about deep space travel, it seems nearly impossible. We discuss distances as if we could travel near the speed of light (186,00 mpS) But, to date the fastest Earthlings have sent a space craft is 364,660 mpH. Remember there are 60 seconds in a minute and sixty minutes in an hour. Therefore, even if we discover some way to travel near the speed of light, travel will take years or even decades. Also remember that there is no radiation protection in space other than that provided by your ship. So, travelers will likely die before they arrive. So, the short point is that it is unlikely that humans will ever leave our own solar system.

some posters here left our solar system a long time ago.

It will be more plausible than you think with us coming closer & closer to ignition stage within Nuclear fusion.
