NASA Discovers Possible Earth 2.0

NASA has just discovered what they are calling Earth 2.0. This plant’s actually name is Kepler 452b. It resides in a similar zone to it’s sun as Earth does. John Iadarola (Think Tank), Hannah Cranston (Think Tank), Jayar Jackson, and Jimmy Dore (The Jimmy Dore Show) hosts of The Young Turks discuss.

What does this mean for the future of space travel? Will we make an effort to go there? Let us know in the comments below.

"NASA on Thursday announced the discovery of what could turn out to be Earth 2.0, Business Insider's Jessica Orwig reported: "the very first Earth-like planet orbiting a Sun-like star in the perfect sweet spot where liquid water could be sloshing on the planet's rocky surface."

Now, it's entirely possible, as Wired's Sarah Zhang indicated, that the exoplanet — called Kepler 452b — could turn out to be nothing like Earth. It could even be a gas planet. Since the planet was discovered by telescope, it's very hard to verify all the details. But NASA scientists — who have a personal interest in presenting their work as big news — are calling it the most Earth-like planet found so far."

I would like to take this opportunity to start a debate/flame war. We discovered this world using science, not prayers. That is all.

The good news is that if we sent out a probe traveling as fast as New Horizons it would get there in only 22, 680, 000 years.

Can we send all the Republicans along with all the employees from Fox news to this planet!? I'm just saying.

Calling this earth 2.0 because of the few criteria they have chosen, is like calling a 6 foot plank with a face drawn on it "Man 2.0". Size and distance from the sun are just two of hundreds of criteria that make Earth what it is.

I suggest a ship of 1billion to go there.... Since it take 3-5 life times to get there. I mean a huge ass ship.

What? Why would this information disprove evolution?

1, 400 Light years...  Unless NASA creates the warp drive from Star Trek, we will all be dead before we even get close to it.

Jimmy, I like you I, but I am getting tired of your forced jokes. They only detract from the conversation.

TYT, please hire someone who knows the difference between "it's" and "its"! The description should read "...in a similar zone to *its* sun..." -- no apostrophe!

Im guessing we are the aliens who will arrive after destroying earth. "Rinse, repeat".

evolution in its basic concepts arent exclusive to earth. if we do find alien life that doesnt appear to have evolved at all, then it woild cause confusion, but that is unlikely as far as we know.
