Impressive images of the telescope, DW! Filmed in scientific fiction mood!

If our solar system originally had two suns, I wonder what star would be the candidate for our sun's binary.

A curious opinion:
Hawking urges Moon landing to 'elevate humanity'
"We are running out of space and the only places to go to are other worlds. It is time to explore other solar systems. Spreading out may be the only thing that saves us from ourselves. I am convinced that humans need to leave Earth," the Cambridge University theoretical physicist explained.

Dry comment: Having ruined the earth we are ready to go to other parts of the universe.

I don't think we ruined the earth yet, but a correction is needed.
I suspect we will get to the Moon and Mars after a thousand years of robotic exploration and habitat building or terraforming. The interest in sending human beings now before a habitable environment has been built puzzles me. There is something socio-psychological underlying this desire that I find questionable.

I think the urge of sending men to space is similar to the one that made the European navegators discover new continents.

“You would ultimately have upwards of 1,000 or more spaceships waiting in orbit. Hence, the Mars Colonial fleet would depart en masse. It makes sense to load the spaceships into orbit because you have got 2 years to do so, and then you can make frequent use of the booster and the tanker to get really heavy reuse out of those. With the spaceship, you get less reuse because you have to consider how long it is going to last—maybe 30 years, which might be perhaps 12–15 flights of the spaceship at most.”
Cool. Mars is the sweet spot for our New Earth, but so many concerns, especially radiation effects on the human system.

The Moon is already going to have small permanent bases on it from various countries.
A new moon going round a small planet in the Kuiper Belt has recently been discovered by the Kepler Space Telescope: https://www.universetoday.com/136123...oon-2007-or10/
