Um... why not get airconditioning? Just curious.

Here airconditioning is not popular and I rarely hear somebody talking about it. I even don't know shops have it.

 

Only if the chick is hot enough.

 

With reference to the planet you originally described... I'd do it, since from what you said I could chose only those people who would treat the new planet responsibly. Ecologists, climatologists, chemists, conservationists (plus teachers, architects, engineers and the more intelligent farmers)... the right kind to build a new civilisation with none of the mistakes of the old.

Yes, I'd do it - but one of my first priorities would be a comprehensive biological survey of the planet, and the demarkation of hi-biodiversity areas as nature reserves.

 

Colonization is all fun and games. But then there'll be post-colonialism. Martians claiming citizenship here on earth. Setting up Martian takeaways. Lobbying for an end to prejudice against green skinned humanoids.

Are you really prepared for that?

 

Yes. In fact I look forward to it.

 

Me too. And with mankind's long history of colonial politics here on Earth, we could do it better out in space.

 

Oh good

"We come to Earth to start new life. Raise fat spoiled Earth kids, hang many underwear from Earth clothesline, live Earthican dream!"

 

Who's to say that the day-to-day realities of life here on Earth should be any less desirable than those of life elsewhere?

 

well all planets would have a different life style. if you go some where else then there is a possibility that it has a better lifestyle and way of living than here. so we should not mess with it till we lake contact and know what it is that is there, language barriers, food, and their races could be hazardous to our planets way of life, or vica versa.

 

oh and i would colinize a new planet with all the knowledge i described

 

Yes, i would go.

 

It depends...is the planet lined up with Eta Carinae's axis of rotation?

 

Meaning: will it lie in the beam of the pulsar which Eta Carinae may become fairly soon (in cosmic terms)?

It might instead become a black hole (no biploar radiation beams then). And if your planet is close enough to Eta Carinae for its future pulsar output to be harmful, won't it first be sterilised when the existing star goes supernova?
