  1. I am entirely stoked about this discovery. Sure it may not wind up being habitable. The planet might have only one sunny side and perpetual darkness on the other, but it’s nice to know that humanity might just have a lifeboat out there.

  2. I have to disagree Simon, a civil servant would love to have a planet to run without politicians getting in the way and changing the rules every 5 mins.
    And with that time gap in communications…a positive gift!
    “Sorry, we didn’t get the full message. Could you repeat please?”
    (OK folks that’ll buy us another two years)
    (The planet would of course have to be named Humphrey or Appleby)

    1. It was long and I do that if they get long. I think it’s baby steps and once we’ve cracked the moon and Mars… what’s stopping us? Oh yes… physics. Damn Physics lol
