Much to the surprise of Climate Crisis activists all over the world – when they say that there is ‘NO Planet B’ – they are wrong. There is a ‘Planet B’ that could aid our ultimate survival, although sadly not for ALL of us. Astronomers have recently discovered a planet that could support human life outside of our own solar system. It’s known to astronomers as – K2-18 b. It appears to have oceans of water as on our Earth and the water in the atmosphere may actually fall as rain. The distance from the sun for K2-18 b is roughly the same as the Earth is from our sun, in what they call the ‘Goldilocks distance’ where it’s just right for plants and animals like us can live. This means that the weather on K2-18 b is similar to that of the Earth. It’s also twice the size of our Earth, which means it could be large enough to support billions MORE of us. This could be ‘Planet B’.
I say we start planning to get as many of us on to ‘Planet B’ ASAP. If the Amazon rocket ships can be made ready quickly, a few hundred of us may be able to rocket out of here in the next few years before the remaining oxygen on our planet is totally used up. Amazon will probably bring the cost of the trip down to ten billion dollars or less per seat. Anyone who can’t afford to pay this kind of money for the trip is doomed, to be sure, so if you are one that can’t find that kind of money laying around, you would be well advised to set up a GoFundMe account.
The only problem with ‘Planet B’ is that it’s one hundred and eleven LIGHT YEARS away. Using present rocket technology, even the Amazon Rockets, would still require a journey of over five or perhaps even ten thousand years to get there. How would our rocket ships maintain the life forms all that time? These ships will have to be huge. We better get started right now. Do they put us in hibernation like in the science fiction movie – Alien? Or can we just cheat the light speed barrier like they do in Star Wars and reach far distant planets in just a few minutes?
I believe that once these problems are resolved, we should start planning for the immigration of as many people as we can put on the rocket ships and start thinking about the kinds of things that we will have to bring to support our fragile lives like TV, Internet routers, smart phones, flashy jewelry, fancy clothes, fast cars, jet planes, gourmet foods, etc. Then, whatever happens to the Earth, even if we’re all wiped out here, at least there’s another place in the galaxy where we can go and live the kind of lives we’ve become accustomed to, expand our numbers at this new planet and trash that place over a few thousand years and move on to trash yet another place in the galaxy. One thing we now know is that there are many millions of places where we can live our lives to their fullest, lusting after every slovenly desire and then trash all these pretty places and move on. It’s our greatest achievement.
The only thing we have to be very strict about is NOT to allow any political leaders to board the exit rocket ships because it’s their fault. They knew about this potential end of our civilization by using fossil fuels so much and did not warn us. As Greta Thunberg of Sweden so eloquently said in a speech to the United Nations, that we are now forced to abandon our home, knowing that everyone we leave behind is doomed, is the fault of our elected leaders. The selection process of those who are allowed on board must be a totally monitored and secure lottery system so that only those who make it to ‘Planet B’, are randomly selected. Only an unbiased computer lottery system should be used to select the few hundred humans who can go on to survive and protect our genome on another place in the galaxy that might support it much longer than the Earth has done here.
