GMA News:
Sasamahan ni Mark Zuckerberg ang Russian billionaire na si Yuri Milner at si Stephen Hawking sa pagpunta sa Alpha Centauri, ang pinakamalapit na star system sa Earth.

From Mark Zuckerberg's facebook account.
I'm proud to join Yuri Milner and Stephen Hawking for a new space initiative to go beyond our nearby planets to explore other stars for the first time in human history.
Our nearest star, Alpha Centauri, is 4.3 light years or about 25 trillion miles away. Even with today's fastest spacecraft, it would take 30,000 years to get there. That's too long.
The new idea here is that instead of using large spacecraft burning fuel like people have in all traditional space travel, we're going to create a fleet of tiny spacecraft -- or nanocraft -- that we can accelerate to 20% of the speed of light using an array of laser beams from our planet's surface. At that speed of 100 million miles per hour, it will only take 20 years to reach Alpha Centauri. This is a completely new way to think about space travel and exploration.
The reason this project is important is recent research has found many stars have planets within a distance where they could have water to sustain life. That is, they're close enough to their star that any water isn't frozen but not so close that it has all evaporated. But just because a planet is in this habitable zone doesn't mean it has water and is a place we can actually live. For example, Mars has no water, so it would be difficult to ever live there. It's quite possible the closest planet that humans could actually live on is orbiting Alpha Centauri, and the only way to know that for sure is to visit close enough to photograph the planet, which is what this project will do.
Over the years, Yuri and I have worked on a number of science initiatives together, including creating the Breakthrough Prize. I'm excited to support this latest initiative with Stephen Hawking, and to help bring human space exploration to the stars.

Oo nga po sir Dabs magandang exploration 'to at pag nagkataon for the first time in the history may maaabot ng star ang mga tao sa mundo, antayin nalang natin after 20 years. Sana magtagumpay itong pinaplano ni Mark Zuckerberg at dalawang Russian Billionaire.

Sya ba mismo o meron syang ipapadala? O spaceship probe lang? I don't think tao ang sasakay sa spaceship, baka robot or droid or something.

Yung mga pumunta ng Mars, Jupiter, ... mga remote controlled robots lang yun.

Space probe lang po ata yung ipapadala doon sir Dabs parehas lang rin sa mga pinadala sa ibang planets mukhang malabo mabuhay ang tao sa 20 years na pagbabyahe ng tuloy tuloy sa kalawakan pag nagkataon kahit na maraming supply ng pag kain.

kulang pa technology naten para kayanin ng tao makapag travel sa space ng pangmatagaln.
Buti 20 years lang maaabot na ng probe yung nearest star, after 20 years sana buhay pa ako para makita ang balita kung ano ang meron dun Grin

Hindi naman ata sila ang pupunta hehe tama ba? Kungdi sasamahan nya or susuportahan ni Mark Z sila Yuri at Hawking kanilang proyekto Wink Ang pagawa ng probe or maliit na kagamitan para mapabilis ang travel time. IMHO

It will take 20 years to get there, assuming nothing destroys the probe (meteors, aliens, black holes). Then it will take another 5 years for any information to get back to us by radio (syempre wireless yan!)

At dapat naka aim yung antenna sa aten.

Sana ay mag tagumpay itong space exploration na gagawin ng mga big time na yan sila Mark Zuckerberg at 2 pang billionaire malaking bagay yan kapag nag tagumpay at sana nga lang maabutan ko pa yan kapag nangyari yan talagang nag hahanap na yung mga eksperto ng malilipatan nating planeta kasi unti unti nang nasisira ang mother Earth natin ;(

Haha natawa ako sa sinabi mo chief pero sabagay totoo naman ganun din mangyayari kapag nakalipat naman tayo cycle lang din mangyayari dahil sa sobrang dami na ng population ng tao sa mundo ngayon mas lumalaki ang risk na masira ang planeta natin. Sana kapag may nakitang tubig sa Alpha Centauri at may oxygen din dun lipat na tayo dun mga chief Cheesy

I agree, wala pa tayong technology to successfully suspend the human body in a cryostasis (frozen organic) state and still be alive and well preserved. Robots yan. Imagine in 20 years they get there, but information, being transmitted at the fastest speed possible (the speed of light) means that we need to wait 4.5 more years before the first transmissions will arrive on Earth.

Hindi naman ganun ka-nega pre, kaya nga tayo maghahanap ng ibang malilipatan at pano kung nasira na nga ang mundo ng tuluyan? Either we go places or let the humans go extinct.

Matagal pa bago masira ang planeta naten. At least 100 to 200 years pa. If people start taking care of it, then it will last much longer.

At maluwag na maluwag ang mundo. Problema lang is political boundaries. Ang daming lugar na uninhabited parin. Yun lang nga, walang gusto tumira sa mga lugar na yun, wala kang kapit bahay o kaibigan.

cguro ung ibang lugar ay nireserve nlng for animals.
ang sarap cgurong isipin na unti unti na teung nkkpagexplore sa ibat ibang panig ng klawakan at paano kung sa pagtravel na ggwin ng maliit na spaceship na yan eh may matuklasan teung kakaiba or may makasalubong na ibang lahi at mapatunayan na totoo sila.

hindi ako naniniwala na teu lng ung nbubuhay sa buong universe kc npklki nito para isipin na teu lang ang may buhay cguro sbhin na natin na gnwa tlgang npklayo ng ibang planetang may buhay dhil iniiwasan ang mgiging sanhi ng alitan ng mga planeta pero katulad ng ibng may buhay patuloy padin teu sa pagdevelop ng mga equipments natin para magexplore  pa pero sa bandang huli its just my opinion padin Smiley

Ang alam ko kaya yung Russian billionaire hdi ko alam kung siya yung nabangit sa op ay gumagastos cya ng millions of dollar para sa scientific research para makamit ang immortality baka gagamitin niya siguro amg immortality para maging pulis pangkalawakan

Tama nga po marami paring uinhabited na lugar kung meron mang isang maliit na community sa isang lugar eh bihira nalang at kokonti lang sila kasi minsan sa source of living din sila nag babase kung tatagal sila sa pag o-occupy doon pero kahit ano man mangyari consume lang tayo ng consume at walang forever na mag susupply sa atin lalo na ang natural resources natin unless kung pangalagaan natin

Tama maraming uninhabited na areas sa planeta natin. Ang problema hindi resources kundi access sa resources mula sa mga lugar na iyon. Example ang Antartica mas malaki yata sa Australia pero sobrang lamig doon, penguin lang ang makakatiis sa lamig doon. Sa disyerto ng Africa at Asia, problema ay access sa drinking water. So challenge yan sa ating lahi pag nasolve natin yan kaya na natin ang ibang problema.
