Which planet is the Right planet?

Post Reply New Topic

I say Mars... because it is still close, and its cold... it's too bad that it doesn't have a bunch of water cause I think snow on mars would be great but otherwise mars is definitely the right planet for me

My friend, there is snow on Mars! both H2O and CO2 snow! hurray! Just head for the polar regions or wait for the winter season at the right latitude!

I think Mars is the right one too. I hope someday it is a terraformed, second home for the human race and all of the life we have on Earth

Venus.

Orion and my family lives in the Mintaka part of Orion. I miss them.

Is it a little warm and dark?

With a poisonous atmosphere.

you'd get on well with imnotaparakeet. he's into Mars. Personally, i prefer Bounty. Or anywhere that doesn't drop to -128C

Europa, moon of Jupiter. Sealab 2020.

Vulcan

Mars is where I want to go. It has water in the northern ice cap and the permafrost, peroxides in the regolith able to be used to manufacture oxygen by adding water, a 24 hour and 39 minute day which would supply regular lighting for plants in better supply than on Luna, a 25° axial tilt which allows for seasons and will make the planet even more earthlike once atmospheric terraformation is done, it has two captured asteroids for satellites which can be mined for resources and turned into orbital cities and allow for higher payload shippments from Earth or anywhere since an EDL system would then not need to be included in the interplanetary spacecraft mass, Mars has the resources necessary to support technological civilization and unlike Earth its environment will demand work and innovation of its inhabitants.

It was once Pluto but it's no longer a planet.
That kind of sucks for poor Pluto!

Dwarf planets are still planets, sort of! And anyway, Pluto's "downgrade" lead to Ceres, Quaoar, Eris and Makemake being "upgraded" to dwarf planet, which was great imo

The one your species evolved on (or one that's similar enough. That's none in this solar system other than Earth).

Alpha Centauri

I think it's somewhere around Orion, for me, as well... well, around Orion's Belt, anyway. I even have personal reasons behind believing in this.

Mintaka actually is in Orion's Belt... maybe that's the proper place for me, too... hmm.

I think space is vast and desolate, it strikes a sense of appeal to people on the spectrum, I guess that's why so many of us like the science fiction genre.
