Earth Like Planets

Centuries ago, before Europeans discovered the "new world" long ocean voyages were not commonplace . . . though not unheard of, we know that basque fisherman had been casting their nets in the waters off Nova Scotia for some time when Columbus set sail with his flotilla . . . but when the Europeans began plying the Atlantic and even the Pacific oceans it was not uncommon for voyages take many long months. At times even years.

Stout hearted adventurers setting sale on ships of wood and canvas, traveling to worlds their fathers only dreamed of; unknown dangers, unplotted courses, the chance of death from privation upon the lonely tracks of the open sea . . .

These are the dangers the next wave of adventurers must face. They'll take ships to the heavens and sail upon the star lit skies with no hope of aid on the road, only their own wits and the tools the bring.

These will be the journey's of our sons and daughters.

Two new worlds were discovered near Kepler 62 . . . 5 actually . . . that may have water upon, one in fact may have no land.

Where there is water there is life.
