This is the likely answer and the one I don't want.

I don't recall Mars being referred to as Earth-like. Is this true?
[–] Sylos 0 points 2 points 2 points (+2|-0) ago
Earth like is a pretty broad term, actually, but that's not the point. According to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earth_analog#Mars, Mars falls under that definition of earth like. So...while it's not a lush, green, water filled world, it falls under the umbrella 'earth like' because it does have a lot of features similar to earth's.

I wonder if some lackey at an alien listening post orbiting the moon is thinking "GarZelbec! The hairless monkeys have found our home world! Now what?".

ohmygodohmygod I'm so excited, even if it's nothing, or light years away or something, this stuff is fascinating
Edit: actually they'll just say "ayy lmao Pluto is a planet again"

Can you imagine that? Is it be possible that in our lifetime we could migrate to another planet and colonize it? Oh god, that would be awesome! Maybe I'm getting too far ahead of myself...

That would be the bomb diggity!

Indeed!

I think you are butohlordy I just got fucking chills - another earth!
[–] bombdiggity 0 points 1 point 1 point (+1|-0) ago
Man, it would be awesome! Even if we just start planning for it it would cause a lot of excitement in the world.

It would be quite an adventure. But I think the real problem to over come is getting there.

I had the unpleasant thought of "What if space was warped like how the Earth is round?" All the effort getting there just to end up at the same planet...
Well I have no idea if such a thing is possible, but it's a thought that happened.
