In Response To: Tau Ceti IV Revealed to be likely habitable. (Orihaus)

: "Astronomers have discovered what may be five planets orbiting Tau Ceti,
: the closest single star beyond our solar system whose temperature and
: luminosity nearly match the sun's. If the planets are there, one of them
: is about the right distance from the star to sport mild temperatures,
: oceans of liquid water, and even life."

: "It's the fourth planet—planet e—that the scientists suggest might be
: another life-bearing world, even though it's about four times as massive
: as Earth."

: Life imitates fiction, huh?

Aye. Thanks for the heads up. Got a few emails about this news as well. Story page has been updated.

Of course the $64,000 question is whether or not you'd get on a colony ship knowing what is waiting for us at Tau Ceti.


When the Pfhor annihilated Tau Ceti I
recorded the deaths of all twenty-four
thousand colonists as distinguishable
spectrographic pulses flooding over my
sensors. The nine Mjolnir Mark IV cyborgs
were easily separable from the humans in this form.

How many humans actually survived?

Cheers
