Wikipedia says that it is likely to have deep oceans, and possibly life! Basically, substitute "c" with "d" in the op article and everything more or less holds true. | ||

Humankind will kill itself off long before traveling light years is even feasible. Sorry to be a debbie-downer. :/ It's actually extremely unlikely that humanity will kill itself off. In the same way that directed self-interests fall into place to create a working economy, the human race's existence is assured by the continued desire to live of each of its individuals. Problems that threaten the species will be dealt with at extreme cost if necessary. | ||

Not to send anything? If you would decide to send some message to there wouldn't you try to send in any language in case they are capable of understanding something? Don't be so naive. | ||

For example, the Native Americans were dying to European diseases, because their immune system had not developed to deal with it. Now think another planet... Its not just the distance that keeps us from jumping around with the Navi' in the treetops. | ||

The general trend for the stuff they create goes: Stuff for space -> military use -> large corporate use -> consumer use. One I can vaguely think of off the top of my head is that something NASA needed for their launches ultimately translated in to a device that pretty much stopped airplanes from falling out of the sky "randomly" like they did a few decades ago. I don't remember hardly any of the details, but they have a list on their website of all the things they're responsible for that has ended up more or less in the everyday individual's life. | ||
