To all SSC Station occupants
Thank you for the donations over the past year (2024), it is much appreciated. I am still trying to figure out how to migrate the forums to another community software (probably phpbb) but in the meantime I have updated the forum software to the latest version. SSC has been around a while so their is some very long time members here still using the site, thanks for making SSC home and sorry I haven't been as vocal as I should be in the forums I will try to improve my posting frequency.
Thank you again to all of the members that do take the time to donate a little, it helps keep this station functioning on the outer reaches of space.

Another discovery - a strangely crowded system, this one.
What we need is a planet in the habitable zone with liquid water on it or under an ice shell like Jupiters Europa.
This in a radius of a few hundred light years and we might see a new increase in space missions funding. ^^
But it is still interesting what kind of strange systems are created throughout the galaxy/universe.
How about a planet in the Alpha Centauri system - close enough?
It may not be in the habitable zone - but it's a really cool discovery.
The planet in the alpha centauri system may be in tidal lock, and so have a cooler far side. However, it has also been suggested that systems with this type of planet often have other similar small rocky bodies further out as well, so there is still hope for finding another earth-like planet
Having said that, Mars is fairly earth-like, and all we've sent there so far is robots
How about a planet in the Alpha Centauri system - close enough?
It may not be in the habitable zone - but it's a really cool discovery.
A habitable planet in Alpha Centauri would have been nice. Not that I would experience even a drone landing there in my lifetime, but it would be good to know that there is a realistic option for mankind to reach another planet. ^^
