[QUOTE]Originally posted by Timo: [QB] Regarding Alpha Centauri, it seems that Terra Nova was colonized before *Mars* was! Apparently, it is faster to do a long interstellar hop and settle on a class M planet than to do a shorter hop or even a sublight insystem journey and then try and turn habitable a non-M world. Regarding Ceti Alpha, it now seems well established that it is a nearby system that has little to do with the star Alpha Ceti. (It could be the Alpha half of a wide binary currently known as Ypsilon Ceti and mistaken for a single star, or something like that...) And Kirk didn't refer to it as a paradise - he told Khan that it would be a challenge, far from paradise, yet would offer a chance of survival. Sounds like a place that Earth would not colonize right away even if it was nearer than the relatively lush Terra Nova. Timo Saloniemi [/QB][/QUOTE]
