The closest star, not including our sun is aprox 4 light years away. Traveling at out current top speed, about 20,000 miles /hour, it would take 137,000 years to go there (on a one way trip).

Nice science fiction to go to another planet outside our solar system, but that is all it is ---- science fiction.

If we can figure out how to travel at the speed of light in space we've cracked it Bakerman.....

No problem. All we need to do is find a convenient wormhole.

Of course, this is perfectly achievable. I've seen it on Star Trek.

Re: search for second earth

If we went to another planet, we'd pollute, contaminate and over populate it too. So I don't think we should go, even if it were possible.

well surely we've learned something here and have a chance NOT to? watched the last episode the other day. although of course right now it IS impossible and clearly enunciated on the script it was suggested that given progress and time the possibilities were highly probably and achievable in the future - we just had to keep trying. I guess you watched the program from a "the glass is half full or empty" mentality
