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.

Paula's List of Blogger Salaries...Are you on the list?

Update: For those who continue to enjoy this post, check out my website about 50 real online people making more than $50k per year , and my page where I update my online salary . UPDATE: Before you read any further or especially link to this old list, please check out "Paula's New List of Blogger Salaries (and Webmasters, Affiliate Marketers, Content Scrapers, Domainers and any other title you can think of) June 2007" by clicking here! ~ Thanks, PAULA NEAL MOONEY by Paula Neal Mooney One of my favorite features in Parade magazine is the issue where they grab a random sampling of people and report their incomes -- from the millionaires to the working poor. 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...

Paula's New List of Blogger Salaries (and Webmasters, Affiliate Marketers, Content Scrapers, Domainers and any other title you can think of) June 2007

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...

† Tissa Godavitarne - Scam? Hoax? Or Internet Marketing Genius? Read these reviews...

UPDATE - I can't do it. Just as soon as I signed up with Tissa's people search engine, I cancelled. I just don't feel right about helping people find other people's addresses and phone numbers. AND THIS PRIVACY ISSUE IS GAINING STEAM. CHECK OUT THE CONTROVERSY BREWING OVER THE MYLIFE.COM PRIVACY SELLING ISSUES THAT TISSA USES TO PROVIDE THE PEOPLE SEARCH ENGINE INFO. I know I could probably make money with it, but it's just not sitting right with my soul. Back to the drawing board. I know better things await... I kept trying to rationalize that many people could use the people search engines for good purposes, like reconnecting with old classmates and finding deadbeat dads and such -- but the reality is that if just one person uses them for nefarious purposes, I just don't want to be a part of that. I wonder if Tissa would care if people found out the address of his fabulous home, and came a' knocking on his door? How I Bought a Brand New $1.2 Million Dolla...
