I wish we could cut our military budget in half and put it into NASA. Make NASA put 100% of it's resources into space travel.

We must send nukes there ASAP and make sure there is no chance of a real Jar Jar Binks.

What good would that do? You'd take out the Hutts, sure, but Gungans come from Naboo, not Tatooine.

Planet is two hundred light years away. It would probably take the power of our sun to get a spacecraft to lightspeed.

haha, got the planets mixed up. Ok, no nukes, but we can agree that as soon as we find naboo we nuke it right?

Gungans live inside the planet, if you nuke Naboo, you only scorch all of the humans on the planets surface.

Is that the same planet that princess amidala (natalie portman) comes form? so conflicted....

The entire saga takes place "A long time ago," so even the utter annihilation of the planet wouldn't prevent the Gungan race from existing, not to mention Jar-Jar was appointed a delegate to the Galactic Senate, so there's a good chance he could've started a family on Coruscant, thereby spreading Gungan genes outside of Naboo, to unknown reaches of the Galaxy. The fact that Gungans aren't mentioned in the later chapters of the saga could indicate their annihilation, regardless, but the only way to be assured of their destruction is the utter annihilation of Naboo, Coruscant, Tatooine and any other planet Gungans ever visited.

This needs to get done!

Oh man, me too, that would be awesome.

A few google searches have revealed even the power of the sun isn't enough to get a spacecraft to light speed. The amount of energy needed is infinite. Add to that the nearest star besides our own is 4.2 light years away it's looking pretty bleak.

The planet, dubbed Kepler-16(AB)-b, passes in front of both stars in view of the satellite, regularly dimming their light. Each star also eclipses its companion as they orbit each other. Altogether, these motions allow scientists to precisely calculate the masses, radii and trajectories of all three bodies.

Wouldn't it be funny if we went there some day and found out it was two planets that were just synced up to look like they were one passing in front of two stars.

that doesn't make sense. nothing would ever reach light speed, not even light.

It would actually take less energy to warp space. There's also some new theories about manipulating mass. We would need to find that Higgs boson first and finalize it's properties, but if we were able to make 10000 kilos react like 10 kilos, we could do some amazing things with velocity.

We're still at least a thousand years from this though.

 

[Fritzo]

Mass requires infinite energy to reach light speed. The amount of energy required to accelerate is logarithmic, meaning you get diminishing returns the faster you go. A particle can reach .9999 the speed of light with enough energy, but will never be able to break the threshold.

Photons are massless, therefore light travels at the maximum speed possible through the medium it's in.

Give it up. We don't even have money to fly our own astronaut to the space station. Sad that I probably will not see man going to Mars in my lifetime.

And everyone inside would die from radiation.
