OMG that sort of discovery really does get my imagination running. I am fascinated by the search for extra-solar planets and what they might find. I've been reading and listening to alot of things regarding the Drake Equation and what the likely-hood is that we are just one of many life-forms, intelligent or not, inhabiting the galaxy.
Makes me want to squeal with excitement:jump2:

Hey Rokketboy, :)

Yeah! It does kind of get that adrenalin going. By astro terms it is quite close. 20.5 L Yrs.

To put it in another context: Man went from 50 Klms/hr to 150 klms/hr in 50 years. In the next 50 he reached 30,000 k/h.

I wonder if it be a possibility to travel at such speeds one day to bring such places into range.
Perhaps a different dimension or some such thing. There's an awful lot we have to discover.

Cheers Marty
