… Just 120-Light-Years Distant

"The search for life on alien worlds has produced by far its most exciting discovery, in the form of a planet just 124 light years from earth that shows all the signs of hosting life. Translating galactic terms into an earth-centered perspective, this planet is literally right across the street from us, and the data that has been collected from there suggests it is likely "teeming with life," at least some of which could be highly intelligent. It seems that much of the surface of this distant planet is covered with ocean, as is earth, which suggests the possibility of parallel stories of evolution…"

We are not alone….

From co-pilot on Bing:
To travel 120 light years, the time required depends on the speed of the spacecraft:
At the speed of NASA's Juno spacecraft (165,000 mph), it would take approximately 355,000 years to travel 120 light years (2,958 years per light year).
So, Trump is out of office and TMP is still running the same software?

Ha!…

A bit of cold water on the notion. But that's how science works— you present your findings and someone else kicks ‘em in the proverbial you-know-whats. And the process rinses and repeats until there's nothing to kick— either because the initial findings were indeed false, or because the questions have been sufficiently answered and/or new observations and analysis have confirmed. Right now the observations and the methods used have been kicked— we shall see if scientists can kick back or not. And thus, knowledge advances.
