We're launching a planet-hunting spacecraft to search for worlds beyond our solar system! Learn about the @NASA_TESS mission ahead of its Monday liftoff by watching our @NASASocial Live Show today at 11am ET: https://www.nasa.gov/live Have questions? Use #askNASApic.twitter.com/tcB2dBXFf2

What are the chances of finding an exact planet which will be suitable for our biological body? Wouldn't transferring our consciousness out of our body to some agent made to be compatible with some specific planet a better option?
-
I do not think that O2 and H2O is an uncommon phenomenon in the universe.
-
That's why we don't have to search for them. If somehow we are able to duplicate our consciousness in digital form and then transfer it to some robot who will simply require power source, we can live or research on any planet without physically being there

Sending something to another star(and thus an exoplanet) would take hundreds of thousands of years with our current tech, we're currently in the "Telescope-based recon" stage of extrasolar exploration

#AskNASA Can TESS extend this mission beyond the current operations plan? Will onboard technology allow for mission extensions? Good luck! -
#AskNASA what factors will allow the optional 18 year mission extension? Funding? Data discovery?@NASAGoddard@MIT@NASAedu

Different countries and corporations make them is various places around the world. Calling them factories would also be misleading since the word usually evokes the idea of a constant assembly line, when they're more like luxury made to order cars

The 8" per mile^2 formula would result in Earth being a parabola. Test it out for yourself. The actual formula is "h = R-Rcos(s/(2R))" where h is the distance below the horizon, R is the Earth's radius and s is the separation between both objects.
