Just yesterday I was wondering about how exciting it would be to have an Earth twin instead of Mars, something we could simply land on and set up camp. It would be fascinating to see how life developed independently on the other planet. Would we have any more respect for the species of that planet than we do for our own? Imagine the space race to claim new lands. Or maybe we'd have been conquered by By Martians already. Oh well, back to reality........
Still, reality has it's charms. We just need faster-than-light engines to turn some of our dreams into reality.
