[extropy-chat] SPACE: new planet?

[Harvey Newstrom]

Yay!  I still predict that there are even larger objects in the Kuiper Belt.
These are older worlds that formed before our planets.  There are a LOT of
them.  Thousands of worlds waiting for colonization or assimilation.  They
have carbon, oxygen, water and organic compounds.  About 10% of them have
spawned moonlets which cause tidal forces that very well may heat up their
cores to form a liquid internal ocean.  Imagine thousands of Europa-type
oceans out there with the basic compounds for life.  I think that the Kuiper
Belt will be the most exciting frontier in the Solar System.  It also will
be the intermediate frontier on our way to the stars.  We will reach and
colonize thousands of these worlds before we will have much interstellar
travel.  They will form the launch point for future interstellar travel.
