There might be potential problems with muscle atrophy in zero-g conditions. The sheer size of an orbiting space station capable of sustaining that many people for so long would in itself be a massive problem, due to the risk of collisions from all the space junk whizzing around up there. Currently the ISS is constantly being pinged with tiny bits of junk too small to detect/track and regularly has to adjust it's orbit to avoid potentially catastrophic collisions with larger pieces, and obviously the risk of such collisions becomes even greater with a larger station. |

''A 982 megahertz signal dubbed BLC1 (Breakthrough Listen 1) came from the star, as spotted by the Parkes telescope in Australia in April and May 2019. Most tantalizingly, the relatively nearby star system contains a planet dubbed Proxima b, which is about 20 percent larger than Earth and located in the systems habitable zone, the area where its theoretically possible for life to sustain itself.'' They got the signal last year! SETI is saying we should be cautious.. wtf do they know?? Probably jealous they couldn't find it first. |

It does make sense.. the closest solar system to us. Maybe they seeded Earth?

These SETI c*nts it doesn't need to be habitable for there to be an alien signal. It could be a beacon! It could be a stray alien probe! It could be any number of things..

It could be any number of things.. It could also be a faulty microwave oven in the observatories staff kitchen, like it was the last time the Parkes telescope folk thought they'd found a signal. |

Don't believe the hype from Popular Mechanics or the other online magazines. There are so many cube sats wandering around the Solar System to cause spurious signals quite frequently.
