1. i dont want humans to inhabit another planet cause i dont want to destroy the ecosystem of a beautiful planet unlike us who polluted earth man some humans are assholes
2. 4 lights years we need buzz light year! 😂😂
3. does it have enough water...oxygen?..trees..planets..food
4. Naturalist mindset = humans are cancer for Earth ,humans are a virus destroying the planet.We are to many humans to be supported by the planet lets die.
   
   Humanist Mindset = We are part of the nature of this planet since it gave Birth to us.We are its child improving ourselves with science.We are Nature.
   
   You chose.
5. ?
6. this is real or not
7. unless its a dead rock like Venus :P
8. why the names proxima centauri and proxima b?
   i would have called them 'the iron sheik' and "nicolai volkoff"
9. Ποιος ηρθε απι την Κατια??
10. We have no right to make that place our home. We don't automatically own it, and what happens if we send people there and find out the place already has residents who don't care to have humans around?
11. Jag födes I proxima b
12. Unrealistic to think we would ever get there considering we haven't even been to Mars yet let alone leave our own solar system. We're screwed as a species anyway Steven Hawking says we need to leave this planet within the next 1,000 years before its resources are depleted due to overpopulation. And that seems overly optimistic to me. Humans overuse of antibiotics have made antibiotic resistant bacteria stronger and more resourceful. It seems only fitting though humans evolved from bacteria over 700 million years ago and bacteria will probably do us in.
13. there was not in quran that we have other earth. i will not beleive it ever. i only beleive to Allah SWT
14. Hm... I like this Earth much better than Proxima B. I don't want to start spending hundreds of thousands of years travelling planet after planet.
    
    But seriously we need to get off our lazy butts and save this planet right now because I'm not going to age every 11 days, that's BS. And we have so many resources here! Gosh, Proxima B might not have trees or grass or stone or the materials that we need. For God's sake, we've spent billions of years on this planet, there's no way I'm gonna leave this planet because it's "Wearing out."
15. 4.23 light years, we need to have 40.000.000.000.000.000.000.000.000.000.000.000.000. Of Bugatti veyron ss motor's to came There as fast as possible
16. Another planet to polute, oh boy...
17. No need to travel that far. We can just travel to Jupiter or Saturn's moons.
18. the Proxima B orbits its home star in every 11.2days?? that is so fast!!!
    
    our planet Earth orbits the Sun in 12months and most of people can feel headaches in every 2 months yet our planet Earth orbits the Sun in 12months, there's no doubt that if a human sent on that planet the human could possibly feel headache or get sick in less than 11.2days if that human is exposed in Proxima B's atmosphere.
    
    why don't they just search a planet like earth that orbits its home star just like ours and has the gravity like ours as well..?
19. 4.23 Light years away..... So close eh R.I.P LOGIC
20. Habitable zone means nothing really. It simply means it's the right distance from the sun so as too not be to warm or too cold for water to exist. Being that the sun it orbits is a red dwarf sun, it's difficult to say what the "habitable zone" would be.
    
    If that's all they have to say it's "earth like", then they really have nothing. The mass is much greater which would indicate stronger gravitational force. Then there's the question of the atmosphere, and the magnetic field around it, they would have to be the same. Life on our earth couldn't exist without our moon, (something unique about our moon) so it would have to have a moon exactly like ours. The quick rotation around the sun would likely prevent life from growing on the planet.
    
    Does it rotate on a fixed axis, or does that axis fluctuate like Mars? Our earth rotates on an axis the stays mostly fixed, it wobbles a little. Mars on the other hand doesn't rotate on a fixed access, the flops over. If our planet did that, every hundred thousand years or so, the Arctic and South America would switch places. Life can only exist here because we stay more or less on that axis. BTW, it's our moon that holds us in place.
    
     The point is, there are many different conditions that would have to be met to be called anything like earth.
