A new planet has been found 31 light-years away
NASA informs that it has found planet from 30 light-years away, what is in the right distance from the star. And that kind of exoplanets is fascinating in many ways. In the next writing, I will think, what would we do, if we will someday colonize that kind of planet.
If we would want someday colonize that kind of planets we might have a vision in our eyes, that we would land on that planet and walk around it by arming some kind of rifles. But if we would land on that planet or fly to that solar system, there are two versions of the possibility, what we might find in that strange world.
1. If the planet is similar to Eart
This case is given visions to many romantic space movies, but in real life, if we would land to that planet, we might face many dangers, what we ever expected. The surface of the planet could be full of life forms like bacteria, which might use our tissues as the nutrient. And this thing makes the planets, what has similar conditions more dangerous to us than the planet, which has only the hostile atmosphere or some kind of radiation.
Chemical dangers like chlorine are easier to control than some organism, what might be different, what we see on the Earth. And if we would think cases, that we would travel on the surface of this habitable planet, we cannot step even on the grass, because it might be the tentacle for hunting prey, because that thing might not be the grass. In that strange world would live life forms, like medusas, what can live on dry land, and that makes this planet very dangerous.
There have been plans, that the planet, what is full of dangerous species, what are the level of bacteria would transform similar to Earth by melting its entire lithosphere. That would happen by using kinetic energy rocket.
Or sometimes the planet would be targeted to an asteroid, where is connected the ion motors, which will impact the lithosphere with very high speed, and it would melt it immediately. That thing would sterilize the planet very effectively, and then the bacteria and other things would deliver on that planet, but there are many moral and ethic questions about that thing.
2. Planet what has no life forms
In this case, the planet would be safer than the planet, what has life forms. The gas can keep out the spacecraft, and the thing is that this kind of worlds can make similar to Earth by using bacteria and cells to transform the atmosphere. And if there would be no water, it can be brought from the space, or sharper to say the stars own Oort cloud, where could be found many icy asteroids.
But if there is another possibility to make water, and that can be done by simply burning the hydrogen, where the exhaust would be water. And the hydrogen is the most common particle in the universe. Oxygen can isolate from the chemical combinations like carbon dioxide. And sometimes has been introduced that planet Venus can transform like Earth by simply filtering the atmosphere by using active carbon filters, and the gas would be pulled through the filters, what are used in the submarines.
But that equipment, what is used in this plan would be bigger. The system would be the tube or smoke pipe, which will suck the gas through the carbon filter, which is similar, which is used in the gas masks. This can separate the carbon from oxygen, and it would transform the atmosphere of Venus, and what works in Venus would work also on another planet. But it takes a long time.
