[QUOTE]Originally posted by PsyLiam: [QB] "Another major concern is the explosion of a star. Unlike in Star Trek, where novas are shown to be rather benign events, a nova can disrupt or even destroy another solar system." No! Novas are [i]dangerous[/i]? (Sorry TE, but what episodes of Trek do you watch where novas are fireworks for the whole family to enjoy?) "If this happens (a star explodes next to our star), we will die before understanding what has killed us." Er, so if Alpha Centuri exploded, we'd die? How exactly? "Every thirty thousand years or so, our system enters densely populated areas of the galaxy. (Densely populated=many star systems crammed into a small area, well, a small area for a galaxy.) Our system is influenced by these other star systems. Influences can include dislodging a rock in the Oort cloud which then takes a very long time to reach the inner system, if this drifting 'bomb' isn't grabbed by one of the larger worlds, say Jupiter. This is one major concern." What? You mean we've only got 30,000 years left to start colonising? My god! I'd better skip dinner tonight and get straight on with designing that suspended animation transport ship. [/QB][/QUOTE]
