Our New Planet...Would You Live There?


by Paula Neal Mooney

So scientists -- God love 'em! -- have discovered this new planet.

Our new planet might turn into another space destination, once we're all jetting around like the Jetsons or Tom Cruise in Minority Report -- minus the melee.

If this new planet holds water, and if we don't all start changing over to energy-efficient light bulbs and such on Earth, the new planet may be our only planet...

I used to be a software tester. Any bad programs we rolled into production only caused some ruffled feathers, not lost lives. The folks who eventually test out living on this new planet will surely be heroes.

My question is: Would you be one of the first to test out living on this new planet?

:-) No, I like 'this' planet just fine, would not go if i had the choice! And seeing how the trip to this 'exoearth' equals to 120 trillion miles, at this point 'none' of us will be going anytime soon. Now, maybe our childrens children will. I have another plan I am hinging my hopes on, and that one definitly keeps me here on this planet.And I don't like the idea that people think if we mess this planet up, we can always move on to the next earth like planet. We should be seeing how to fix this planet first.

I would go. It's like the people who first came to America from Europe. I would love to have a fresh start on a new world (especially since there would be free land again). To me it'snot about moving on to the next planet to destory. I just like the thrill of exploration. Let's do something new. Start fresh. Get a little crazy. Let's dig our existance out of the ground. I'll pack my wagon and head out. It would be fun. I've always wanted an adventure

I've been following this story too. I don't think we know enough about the planet right now to send settlers.

When I was younger I would have loved to go. Now that I'm more settled, well, I'm not so sure. I'm thinking I'm pretty comfortable where I am.

I need to read more on current events. Sorry I had no Idea about this new planet. I have to come here for the latest news Paula lol.
Well about living on another planet...hmmm.. I love Mother Earth, but we are not taking care of all she has done for us, like sustain us. I don't think I would want to try another world until I saw this one healed lol. Humanity would ruin another world... No Thanks... But If any of those "Aliens" want to move here that would be nice, as long as they are nice like E.T
Serious Science Fiction Girl here.
peace....

I got excited about this... until I figured out that with the technology we have right now, it would take hundreds of thousands of years to get there....

So until we "discover" a teleportation device or figure out a way to travel faster than the speed of light... I think I'll have to sit on my hands...

If we do, however, figure out how to get there quicker, sign me up! :)

I AM NOT GOING ANYWHERE, NO WAY! WATCH SOMETHING CRAZY HAPPEN TOO. I DON'T TRUST IT. I BELIEVE GOD WANTED HUMANS ON EARTH PERIOD. IS THERE SOMETHING ELSE OUT THERE? I DONT KNOW MEANING LIFE, BUT I DO KNOW THAT I WILL REMAIN ON EARTH WHERE GOD CREATED ME.

Since I'm fascinated with how much money bloggers and webmasters are making nowadays, I've created a similar list -- a random sampling of people making money on the net. Who's on Paula's List of Blogger and Webmaster Salaries? I spent hours and hours scouring the internet for the last-reporte

FIND OUT HOW MUCH BLOGGERS REALLY MAKE ONLINE -- CHECK OUT THIS NEW WEBSITE ABOUT MONEY-MAKING ONLINE CALLED 50 OVER $50K... by Paula Neal Mooney The time has come. The time is now. Paula N. Mooney will you please publish that list now?! (Yes, I fancy Dr. Seuss' iambic pentameter.) My WebMaster blest me with a viral post called "Paula's List of Blogger Salaries," and the response was so wonderful, here lies an update. It's bigger and better than ever before with more pics, and double the amount of bloggers, webmasters, domainers, affiliate marketers (or a smidgen of some or all of those titles) and their reported incomes. How Much Do You Make? Money is funny. The abundance of it, the lack of it, the subject of cash in general gets attention. While some invoke their choice not to post their online income nor discuss it at all, I've always been of the Suze Orman mindset ever since I read her first book. Suze encourages people to talk ab

UPDATE: PLEASE CLICK THIS LINK TO DIGG THIS STORY AND TELL DIGG TO PLAY FAIR... by Paula Neal Mooney Many of us know the power of Digg.com, dreamed up by Kevin Rose, who touted it as a "user driven" site that says it allows the general public to determine the stories they want to see make it to the front page by voting for interesting articles they find across the web. The more votes the public gives an article, the better chance it should have to make it to the front page. Theoretically... The power of Digg's front page Digg.com -- according to Alexa -- is now more popular than The New York Times. Getting one of your articles or blog posts to the front page of Digg.com will get your website seen by plenty of eyes. John Chow experienced a one-day traffic record of 55,856 page views when one of his posts hit the front page of Digg.
