something like that would make more sense if scientists find an Earth like planet capable of supporting life. who would want to go on a 1-way trip to Mars, and an environment that will kill you without constant protection?

I wonder if there are very many worlds where humans could live without life support. We are finely tuned to exist in Earth's environment. Even small differences could be fatal to us.

as long as the planet is in the "goldilocks" zone and has liquid water, that would still be far better than Mars. wearing a breather mask to go outside would be a lot better than having to don a full spacesuit

Agreed. Mars is also very cold, and radiation would be a big problem. Gravity is much less too (about 38% of Earth's gravity).
HAHHA DO YOU GET IT?!?! The water is ON the Mars bar?!? Hahhaha I never said it was a planet you (#*$ing idiots!!!2111one hahahahahah

I’m always amazed these sportscasters and announcers can call the game with McDavid’s **** in their mouths all the time.

Thor, that was one of the most inspiring things I have ever watched. Thanks X 10000000.
Aside from sending chills up my spine, watching that makes me wonder how anyone can buy into the pettiness, and insignifigance of religion. Or how anyone, from any faith, could not watch that, and immediately denounce their god.
I await the day the the mystery of the grand unification theory is finally solved, and the religious zealots will have to finally admit, that science IS right. Then they will have to acknowledge we are here because of something infinitely more complex, fantastic, and awe inspiring than a man with a white beard living in the clouds. I have hope that even though it may never be in my lifetime, thinkers like these will one day elevate humanity to its true potential.
I found this quote, to be the most poignant message in the video.
"When I compare what scientific knowledge has done for me, and what religion tried to do to me.... I literally sometimes shiver."

Does it really matter though? Even if we found a planet out there like Earth, what is the point? The human race probably won't survive long enough to have the technology to travel to it, communicate with it, or even get a close look at it. Given the rate we are filling the earth with people, our consuption of natural resources, we are headed for extinction pretty quickly, in the grand scheme of things. Unless by some miracle we figure out how to warp travel in the next hundred years or so, we're going to die staring at the sky. Heck I'd be surprized if we even see the day man lands on Mars, much less a planet in another solar system. Maybe I'm just missing the point.
I'm not so pessimistic. We can build materially closed-systems that just recycle matter and only need an energy source to sustain themselves perpertually. If we can power it with light from stars, then we don't need the sun. Once we can build space stations that don't need Earth or the sun, then we have all the time in the universe to get to our destination. We don't even need a destination.
Scientists at Purdue University and Imperial College London have updated their popular impact effects calculator first produced in 2004.
Users dial in details about the hypothetical impactor, like its diameter and density.
The web program then estimates the scale of the ensuing disaster, such as the size of the crater left behind.
It will also tell you how far away you need to be to avoid being buried by all the material thrown out by the blast, or set on fire.
