Proxima b is more dead than Mars. It would have tidally locked to its star long ago and it has no way to maintain a magnetic field beyond sharing one from its host star. Simulations show that life could perhaps thrive on _young_ worlds around red dwarf stars. Proxima b is _old._ If life still lives there, it must be more extreme extremophiles than any we've seen on Earth.
There is also the Pre Main Sequence problem with red dwarves. Long story short, they are hotter when they are forming and cool dpwn when fusion starts. So the habitable zone is wider intially a d wod boil away the oceans on any planets in what ends up being the habitable zone.
@@saviourojukwu893 The universe is only ~14 billion years old. There are orange dwarf stars that old. The Methuselah Star, for example, is a yellow subgiant at ~0.8 solar masses and its estimated age is roughly the age of the universe. It would have been an orange dwarf in its youth, more similar to Toliman than Proxima. Red Dwarf stars will last far longer than this. But my investigations into the conditions for life seem to suggest that it is far more likely to begin in a young planetary system. If a planet requires many millions of years or more in order to become habitable, then it is probably too late for life to take root by then, unless it was deposited (contaminated) from an outside source (panspermia).

@@Nabsolute_ From a video I watched onlv yesterday on Triton, it's a small moon which was captured by Neptune , is a shade bigger than Pluto, orbits around Neptune in a retrograde motion - nearly a perfect circular orbit but counterclockwise to the other moons of Neptune, and of Neptune itself, and prior to its capture, was possibly part of a 'duo system' like Pluto and Charon, but somehow was torn from its partnering moon before being swept up by Neptune's gravitational pull... I don't remember more about Triton (my memory fails me once I absorb so much then 'poof' the rest of the info fades away 'into the ether' as the saying goes!!) 🤔😶🏴🇬🇧♥️🖖
V101 Space, back when I was a boy in the '50s and '60s, the phrase '20 times smaller' was expressed as "1/20 the size", which makes a lot more sense to my old mind. Conversely, if it was larger, it was said to be "20 times the size of something.
Really? Scientists think that life on another planet 4 light years away might be different than life on Earth? Wow that’s some next level stuff right there.
there’s a theory that “life” on other exoplanets found in habitable zones evolved in the same way as the life on earth meaning that most animal or herbal species would be similar to ours based on many factors and if factors that are the base for a life on any planet are similar to the factors thst led to life on earth it means that living organisms would also have similar history and structure. since, proxima b has different characteristics but yet it’s still able to provide a life it means that life there might be somehow different
Imagine how disappointed people will be if they find out Proxima B planet is just as lifeless and hostile as Venus. It’s tidally locked, old and constantly bombarded with solar radiation.
This is something I'm still debating on, IF Proxima B DOES have alien life living on it, it would be connected to everything about aliens that we've been studying and hearing about here on Earth, but I'm still extremely skeptical about the whole thing, but for once, there's no doubt in my mind that there is a possibility that Proxima B MAY or MAY NOT have alien life living on it
For those wondering, what is the medium for the third aound - its not a sound , just a wavelength made audible . Now we all know energy waves travel in space . The third sound is a pattern in which energy is being released .
I can't help that everything I hear Proxima Centauri I immediately think of the sci-fi film Event Horizon and needless to say it didn't end well for most of the characters.
@@MetroTitanD78 yes, I looked it up again today and i read about that, it's sad it didn't do well when it first came up, maybe they would have kept the footage then.
well that wasnt really Proxima Centauri's fault, we should not have used that type of warp drive that opens up portals to other dimensions including but not limited to, Hell. I reckon, so thats all on us.
I’m sure life exists throughout the universe but we may never actually find it. The distances are far too great to travel to it. A warp drive could achieve the ability but the energy for a warp drive is astronomical. No pun intended.
11:30. The JSW can't detect anything about proxima b, because the planet does not transit relative to our view. That means the planet orbits in a plane, that makes it hidden from direct observations on earth. The only way to know what proxima b looks like will be through drone/ probe imagery
A planet that is half ina perpetual day and the ofher half in a perpetual night. What a great location for an amazing movie! I wonder why I haven`t seen such one yet?
I have to say my favorite planet of all, by a huge degree, hands-down is the 3rd planet of Sol called Earth. It’s far from perfect like its still primitive life form it’s known for, yet contains some of the most beautiful places and females within its galaxy.
Proxima b inhabitants can not lie and communicate thoughts as they occur. We know that they survive times of extreme hardship by dehydrating. We also know that they are militant and prone to fear.
I’ve always thought that with all the stars we can see there must be other planets that are like ours, some more advanced than ours some the same and some just starting, either way we are not the only planet with a life form on it.
Our fastest Space Craft would take 678.53 Years to get there. 27 Generations later. Begin 1345, Arrive 2024. 186,000 / (394,736 / 360) * 4 Light Speed mps / ( Fastest Space Craft [2023] mph to mps) * 4 Years. 169.63 Years for a Space Craft to travel the distance of one Light Year. 4 Generations of Humans to walk the circumference of the Sun.
If a ship travels at a constant 1g acceleration rate it would get to Alpha Centauri in 3.6 years (7.3 years would pass on Earth) this includes turning the ship around halfway to decelerate. It would achieve about 95% light speed in 1 year. A 10 ton ship would require 10 tons of continuous thrust. This is by far the fastest way we can get to other worlds and the ship would have gravity the whole way. All that is needed for this is a fission rocket that can put out thrust for long periods and does not consume hydrogen, you can't bring thousands of tons of that with you. A true fission rocket should consume uranium or plutonium only. They are both jittery atoms that are on the verge of fissioning all by themselves. There should be a way to get them to fission in a linear fashion. What's needed is a controlled, time released nuclear explosion. In an atomic bomb fission occurs when neutrons hit uranium or plutonium nuclei. This is because they will not tolerate an increase in mass. Due to the equivalence of mass and energy, the same should be true if you infuse them with energy. This might be as simple as having negatively charged uranium or plutonium atoms coming into contact with positively charged uranium or plutonium atoms. With the constant acceleration method a ship can span the entire diameter of our galaxy in 24 ship/113,000 Earth years. Systems with stars similar to our sun can be reached in under 10 ship years.
It's very important to note that the "habitable" zone of a star does NOT mean any planets located in it would be even close to hospitable to life. VENUS is technically in the habitable zone - but you'd be dead in less than a second on its surface, where temperatures are hot enough to melt lead. Mars, too, is in the habitable zone - yet you can't live there without a space suit, and many huge obstacles must be overcome before even a simple colony would MAYBE one day be viable. A planet that close to its star, for OUR kind of life, would absolutely be lethal. Even if we detect an earth sized planet with water on its surface, THAT also does not mean we could actually survive there - or that it has any iife at all. Just something to keep in mind - don't get too excited about planets in habitable zones - MOST stars have at least one planet in a habitable zone yet space is DEATHLY quiet. If simply being in the zone equalled life, we'd be statistically speaking DROWNING in signals even if only 0.1% of them had technological civilizations.
If we do find alien life, I hope it's microscopic in size and fear that if it is microscopic, it might be impossible to prevent it from being transported to (and contaminating) the earth.
Looking for life on a planet close to a red dwarf is basically a waste of time. Stay focused G-Type stars like our sun. I will really get excited when we identify planets in the habitable zone of Sun like stars. Alpha Centauri A probably has planets and would be a more worthwhile target of study.
The problem is, our G, K stars are super rare, and almost every star is a red dwarf . Also, early solar system modeling seems to indicate that our solar system is extremely unusual, and it could be we just got really lucky.(most stars do not have inner rocky planets, protected by one or more Gas giants beyond the ice ring, and in fact most seems to have gas giants within th eorbit of Mercury) But statistically, life, if it is common in our universe, will be found overwhelmingly in systems of red dwarf stars.. This is just statistical fact.. And it will exist by many orders of magnitude, compared to K, G, or F stars. This is just a mathematical reality. I think you are trapping yourself in a box for a "life as we know it scenario" but let me propose this-- In our own solar system, we have 7 or 8 planetary bodies that might currently support life, or at some point in the past, or perhaps at some point in the future- Venus, Mars, Enceledus, Europa, Titan, Triton, Ganymede, Callisto, Ceres, and Pluto. I'm sure you can see which type of celestial body, is more common just on our one cherry picked example.. That's right, "tidally locked, frozen planetoids, with hypothetical warm and abyssal, salt water oceans; It could turn out that life often originates in these types of conditions, under the ice shell of a frozen moon around a gas giant beyond the liquid water belt(protected by its ice shell from solar radiation, comet strikes, extinction events, supernovae, etc... These moons, are tidally locked to a gas giant, and are made up of mostly silica and water, but thanks to all the tidal forces from the parent planet and multitudes of sister moons, there are always planety of heat energy at the ocean floor, just like the "chimney's"and biosphere found on our own planet in the Mariana trench.. Very excited for NASA's Europa mission launching this year.. Anyway, now lets crank it up a notch.. Instead of a gas giant, lets imagine earth-size frozen worlds, (not only are red dwarfs the most abundant star in the universe, water happens to be the most abundant compound too) with rocky cores, that are tidally locked to red dwarf stars, in the same way Europa is tidally locked to Jupiter. I mean Jupiter is a failed brown dwarf, amirite? So I think frozen worlds, around red dwarfs, where the life in the oceans are protected from solar flares of young red dwarf star, and like I said, anytihng dangerous pretty much.. I mean life as we know itr, needs water.. So if we find life on Europa, that would indicate, not only is life extremely prevelant, but that the scenario that is most common to life originating, is one of these frozen water worlds. Well this is my theory of why life will be overwhelmingly found in oceans under ice, in the galaxy, and it will be vcery rare to find a planet like ours. And why looking for rare G, F, or K stars, is a waste of time. Or at least, it would be a mistake, to focus ONLY on our similar star type. (especially when every red dwarf is literally a candidate. In terms of our solar system being very unique and special, and not all similar to other G type stars astronmers have observed, our gas giants are far out, most stars, the gas giants are inside the orbit of mercury, and the rocky planets are pushed to outer orbits. If "Thea" hadnt crashed into our planet, and formed the "moon" , without it, we might have ended up exaclty like Venus. So I would argue that a planet like ours, around a G type star, would NEED to HAve a large moon, and plate tectonics, and even though our telescopes are not really capable yet, we have some idea, and it would indicate that our large moon is very rare. One last thing, are you aware of the findings of dimethyl sulfide on planet K2-18B? Almost would have been a point for your theory.. but it dont look good.. here ya go I was excited for ya, but i just found this- my/webb-biosignature-gas-k2-18b-12904.html#:~:text=In%202023%2C%20astronomers%20reported%20a,-Earth%20exoplanet%20K2-18b Well, looks like in 6 months we will know for sure..
@@MaxxTrajan I hear you and thanks for taking the time to provide such an extensive response. I have no doubt that we will find life on many different worlds (including our own solar system) around many different sun types, after all life seems to find a way, extremophiles here on earth are an example of that . However I was referring to an evolutionary process closer to what we have experienced on earth.
I keep wondering if our fascination with "finding" another Earth is predicated on our insatiable curiosity of the unknown or our growing fear of the need to leave the Earth while we still have a chance. It's likely there are many millions of civilizations scattered throughout the universe but only those where reason, critical thinking and emotional maturity dominate have any chance of survival. In other words, humanity is in serious trouble !!!!

V101. I seen the ad and wondered if you're an actual gamer. (I know you gotta do what you gotta do for them ads) anyway, did you play starfield? Whatvyou think of it?
(Sorry if this sounds sarcastic... its really not!)
Love the vids
I can't wait to go there
What is the middle eastern sounding music you have playing in the background?! I neeeed itttt ❤
Writer research questions: If Proxima had a yellow sun like ours could it be habitable even though tidally locked? Any theories on what type of lifeforms would occur there on either the light and dark facing?
On the light side would be some very thirsty dark skinned people wearing sunglasses. And on the dark side some albinos with torches.
Thank u for ur presentation bro 😊
"Life...finds a way."
Great News......excellent & encouraging, let's all pray to Divine-Celestial&Cosmic-Powers, to let all this, works purely in favour & in-interest of Humanity & PlanetEarth...... ✝️InshaAllah☪️Amen🕉️BhagwanKarey🙏
Proxima B probably looks like every dead rock from The Twilight Zone in the 60s.
Europa is nearer.

Or Triton ?
@@Nabsolute_
From a video I watched onlv yesterday on Triton, it's a small moon which was captured by Neptune , is a shade bigger than Pluto, orbits around Neptune in a retrograde motion - nearly a perfect circular orbit but counterclockwise to the other moons of Neptune, and of Neptune itself, and prior to its capture, was possibly part of a 'duo system' like Pluto and Charon, but somehow was torn from its partnering moon before being swept up by Neptune's gravitational pull... I don't remember more about Triton (my memory fails me once I absorb so much then 'poof' the rest of the info fades away 'into the ether' as the saying goes!!) 🤔😶🏴🇬🇧♥️🖖
But so cold
V101 Space, back when I was a boy in the '50s and '60s, the phrase '20 times smaller' was expressed as "1/20 the size", which makes a lot more sense to my old mind. Conversely, if it was larger, it was said to be "20 times the size of something.
Good evening notification gang 🤟🏻
Very interesting
The voice for this is like listening to knuckles on a cheese-grater.
They say two stars and Proxima B going around one. Wouldn't the two gravitational forces be between the two stars?
Really? Scientists think that life on another planet 4 light years away might be different than life on Earth? Wow that’s some next level stuff right there.
there’s a theory that “life” on other exoplanets found in habitable zones evolved in the same way as the life on earth meaning that most animal or herbal species would be similar to ours based on many factors and if factors that are the base for a life on any planet are similar to the factors thst led to life on earth it means that living organisms would also have similar history and structure. since, proxima b has different characteristics but yet it’s still able to provide a life it means that life there might be somehow different
Imagine how disappointed people will be if they find out Proxima B planet is just as lifeless and hostile as Venus. It’s tidally locked, old and constantly bombarded with solar radiation.
If we do land on a exoplanet with habitable conditions and then find insects as big as in permian period. 💀
This is something I'm still debating on, IF Proxima B DOES have alien life living on it, it would be connected to everything about aliens that we've been studying and hearing about here on Earth, but I'm still extremely skeptical about the whole thing, but for once, there's no doubt in my mind that there is a possibility that Proxima B MAY or MAY NOT have alien life living on it
Great video
Proxima B is basicly the real mushroom world from sonic
I did not know dwarf stars were so violent😊
For those wondering, what is the medium for the third aound - its not a sound , just a wavelength made audible . Now we all know energy waves travel in space .
The third sound is a pattern in which energy is being released .
I can't help that everything I hear Proxima Centauri I immediately think of the sci-fi film Event Horizon and needless to say it didn't end well for most of the characters.
Oh my goodness, that movie traumatized me when I was a kid. I should rewatch it:')
@T.J... and that was the heavily edited version too as the film was originally a lot longer and more violent. Sadly most of the footage is long gone.
@@MetroTitanD78 yes, I looked it up again today and i read about that, it's sad it didn't do well when it first came up, maybe they would have kept the footage then.
well that wasnt really Proxima Centauri's fault, we should not have used that type of warp drive that opens up portals to other dimensions including but not limited to, Hell. I reckon, so thats all on us.
@@MaxxTrajan you are right 😔
The umbral zone is the only place that could…hard to imagine though 😊
I am sure there should be something over there... , such a huge space with trillions of stars and galaxies, we can't be the only living here....
And that’s just next door. Imagine what lives a billion light years away
O loved this Artificial Intelligency program, very good!
If life existed anywhere outside of planet earth then it would be unlike anything we have ever seen!
Oh yeah its right next door, its just 7,000 years away.
I’m sure life exists throughout the universe but we may never actually find it. The distances are far too great to travel to it. A warp drive could achieve the ability but the energy for a warp drive is astronomical. No pun intended.
I have been to proxima b… its nice af wonderful people there
We should explore exoplanets
11:30. The JSW can't detect anything about proxima b, because the planet does not transit relative to our view.
That means the planet orbits in a plane, that makes it hidden from direct observations on earth.
The only way to know what proxima b looks like will be through drone/ probe imagery
how?
I wonder if we will ever get an exoplanet simulator on Quest.
John Shepard will get us there once the Mass Effect relays are discovered on Mars!
Fascinating
A planet that is half ina perpetual day and the ofher half in a perpetual night. What a great location for an amazing movie! I wonder why I haven`t seen such one yet?
I wonder what scientists would assume about earth if we were looking at it from this distance.
I have to say my favorite planet of all, by a huge degree, hands-down is the 3rd planet of Sol called Earth. It’s far from perfect like its still primitive life form it’s known for, yet contains some of the most beautiful places and females within its galaxy.
That creature looks like the road runner to me.! Y bother to go there? You’d never catch him !😮
How would Proxima B have a strong magnetic field id it is tidally locked?
Ouch, that hurt.
Proxima b inhabitants can not lie and communicate thoughts as they occur. We know that they survive times of extreme hardship by dehydrating. We also know that they are militant and prone to fear.
Embassytown is a good book.
I’ve always thought that with all the stars we can see there must be other planets that are like ours, some more advanced than ours some the same and some just starting, either way we are not the only planet with a life form on it.
Look up the Fermi paradox. We might be the first in the galaxy
This was amazing to see. 2029 is such a long ways but it won't feel like a long ways once we get there
Our fastest Space Craft would take 678.53 Years to get there. 27 Generations later. Begin 1345, Arrive 2024.
186,000 / (394,736 / 360) * 4 Light Speed mps / ( Fastest Space Craft [2023] mph to mps) * 4 Years.
169.63 Years for a Space Craft to travel the distance of one Light Year.
4 Generations of Humans to walk the circumference of the Sun.
If a ship travels at a constant 1g acceleration rate it would get to Alpha Centauri in 3.6 years (7.3 years would pass on Earth) this includes turning the ship around halfway to decelerate. It would achieve about 95% light speed in 1 year. A 10 ton ship would require 10 tons of continuous thrust. This is by far the fastest way we can get to other worlds and the ship would have gravity the whole way.
All that is needed for this is a fission rocket that can put out thrust for long periods and does not consume hydrogen, you can't bring thousands of tons of that with you.
A true fission rocket should consume uranium or plutonium only. They are both jittery atoms that are on the verge of fissioning all by themselves. There should be a way to get them to fission in a linear fashion. What's needed is a controlled, time released nuclear explosion.
In an atomic bomb fission occurs when neutrons hit uranium or plutonium nuclei. This is because they will not tolerate an increase in mass. Due to the equivalence of mass and energy, the same should be true if you infuse them with energy. This might be as simple as having negatively charged uranium or plutonium atoms coming into contact with positively charged uranium or plutonium atoms.
With the constant acceleration method a ship can span the entire diameter of our galaxy in 24 ship/113,000 Earth years. Systems with stars similar to our sun can be reached in under 10 ship years.
The Trisolarans came from there until the entire system was wiped out by another planet in the Dark Forest.
how does this channel have so many subscribers
What about proxima A ?
It's very important to note that the "habitable" zone of a star does NOT mean any planets located in it would be even close to hospitable to life. VENUS is technically in the habitable zone - but you'd be dead in less than a second on its surface, where temperatures are hot enough to melt lead. Mars, too, is in the habitable zone - yet you can't live there without a space suit, and many huge obstacles must be overcome before even a simple colony would MAYBE one day be viable. A planet that close to its star, for OUR kind of life, would absolutely be lethal. Even if we detect an earth sized planet with water on its surface, THAT also does not mean we could actually survive there - or that it has any iife at all.
Just something to keep in mind - don't get too excited about planets in habitable zones - MOST stars have at least one planet in a habitable zone yet space is DEATHLY quiet. If simply being in the zone equalled life, we'd be statistically speaking DROWNING in signals even if only 0.1% of them had technological civilizations.
If we do find alien life, I hope it's microscopic in size and fear that if it is microscopic, it might be impossible to prevent it from being transported to (and contaminating) the earth.
I hope it's something like dinosaurs tbh
Looking for life on a planet close to a red dwarf is basically a waste of time. Stay focused G-Type stars like our sun. I will really get excited when we identify planets in the habitable zone of Sun like stars. Alpha Centauri A probably has planets and would be a more worthwhile target of study.
The problem is, our G, K stars are super rare, and almost every star is a red dwarf . Also, early solar system modeling seems to indicate that our solar system is extremely unusual, and it could be we just got really lucky.(most stars do not have inner rocky planets, protected by one or more Gas giants beyond the ice ring, and in fact most seems to have gas giants within th eorbit of Mercury)
But statistically, life, if it is common in our universe, will be found overwhelmingly in systems of red dwarf stars..
This is just statistical fact.. And it will exist by many orders of magnitude, compared to K, G, or F stars.
This is just a mathematical reality.
I think you are trapping yourself in a box for a "life as we know it scenario" but let me propose this--
In our own solar system, we have 7 or 8 planetary bodies that might currently support life, or at some point in the past, or perhaps at some point in the future-
Venus, Mars, Enceledus, Europa, Titan, Triton, Ganymede, Callisto, Ceres, and Pluto.
I'm sure you can see which type of celestial body, is more common just on our one cherry picked example..
That's right, "tidally locked, frozen planetoids, with hypothetical warm and abyssal, salt water oceans;
It could turn out that life often originates in these types of conditions, under the ice shell of a frozen moon around a gas giant beyond the liquid water belt(protected by its ice shell from solar radiation, comet strikes, extinction events, supernovae, etc...
These moons, are tidally locked to a gas giant, and are made up of mostly silica and water, but thanks to all the tidal forces from the parent planet and multitudes of sister moons, there are always planety of heat energy at the ocean floor, just like the "chimney's"and biosphere found on our own planet in the Mariana trench..
Very excited for NASA's Europa mission launching this year..
Anyway, now lets crank it up a notch.. Instead of a gas giant, lets imagine earth-size frozen worlds, (not only are red dwarfs the most abundant star in the universe, water happens to be the most abundant compound too)
with rocky cores, that are tidally locked to red dwarf stars, in the same way Europa is tidally locked to Jupiter. I mean Jupiter is a failed brown dwarf, amirite? So I think frozen worlds, around red dwarfs, where the life in the oceans are protected from solar flares of young red dwarf star, and like I said, anytihng dangerous pretty much.. I mean life as we know itr, needs water.. So if we find life on Europa, that would indicate, not only is life extremely prevelant, but that the scenario that is most common to life originating, is one of these frozen water worlds.
Well this is my theory of why life will be overwhelmingly found in oceans under ice, in the galaxy, and it will be vcery rare to find a planet like ours. And why looking for rare G, F, or K stars, is a waste of time. Or at least, it would be a mistake, to focus ONLY on our similar star type. (especially when every red dwarf is literally a candidate.
In terms of our solar system being very unique and special, and not all similar to other G type stars astronmers have observed, our gas giants are far out, most stars, the gas giants are inside the orbit of mercury, and the rocky planets are pushed to outer orbits.
If "Thea" hadnt crashed into our planet, and formed the "moon" , without it, we might have ended up exaclty like Venus.
So I would argue that a planet like ours, around a G type star, would NEED to HAve a large moon, and plate tectonics, and even though our telescopes are not really capable yet, we have some idea, and it would indicate that our large moon is very rare.
One last thing, are you aware of the findings of dimethyl sulfide on planet K2-18B?
Almost would have been a point for your theory.. but it dont look good.. here ya go
I was excited for ya, but i just found this-

Well, looks like in 6 months we will know for sure..
@@MaxxTrajan I hear you and thanks for taking the time to provide such an extensive response. I have no doubt that we will find life on many different worlds (including our own solar system) around many different sun types, after all life seems to find a way, extremophiles here on earth are an example of that . However I was referring to an evolutionary process closer to what we have experienced on earth.
Why is this a waste of time? Finding planets around g stars isnt any more important. Its all for science, nothing else.
@@ldubt4494 exactly!!
I think we need a better robot than a metallic-looking flake of plastic if we're going to Proxima B.
Careful what you wish for.
we must search for life as we know it, in stars like the sun.
Every space channel always says we found earth like world then when described find out not even close to earth like
IF it has liquid and IF iy has an atmosphere, considering it's tidally locked, imagine the winds on this thing.
I keep wondering if our fascination with "finding" another Earth is predicated on our insatiable curiosity of the unknown or our growing fear of the need to leave the Earth while we still have a chance. It's likely there are many millions of civilizations scattered throughout the universe but only those where reason, critical thinking and emotional maturity dominate have any chance of survival. In other words, humanity is in serious trouble !!!!
Even if there is life in another galaxy it is out of reach. We wouldn't even be the same by the time we reached another solar system nevermind our own
Not really
Earth: oh no a heracan
Proxima B: ha ha ha that's it
Humans will never be able to accept life forms, from other worlds.
Some humans
All humans are idiots except for me.
🤣
Good thing there isn't any then.
Where is the dinosaur image seen in the preview thumbnail?
That's not a dino, that looks like Ridley's evil brother ...
Does this confirm krypton? What happens when they come to a yellow star system? 😮
Realy I like it its interestyng
We need to harness unlimited energy first.
James Cameron’s Pandora is that you?
Id like to think of proxima b as being inhabited by tall blue aliens with dreadlocks 😋
I doubt it.
