    If so what Star System would best fit? I personally think the [TRAPPIST-1 System](https://eyes.nasa.gov/apps/exo/#/system/TRAPPIST-1) would best fit, just the distance is the problem...

    IMHO - Its highly doubtful that humans survive long enough to develop the necessary technologies.

      Possible doesn't imply feasible.

      Feasible doesn't mean feasible in the next few decades.

        Yes, I do think it's possible, except they come from far and they've colonized this planet. Or would you have me believe customers are from planet Earth (or even this solar system)? :sigh: ;P

          If I recall correctly the TRAPPIST-1 system has two or three good candidates, if you're looking for one with a gravity similar to earth.

          If you think 'goto' is evil, try writing an Assembly program without JMP.

          Not only that, the system itself is small enough that colonists of each of the three planets could trade with current technology... They are that close together...

                I am fairly certain the rest of the cosmos does not want the human species leaving this planet to mess up other planets. We are a fairly efficient parasitic species, destroying everything in our path.

                  That's not a problem: Star Trek - U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701 - 70548 -[^]

                      Amateurs. Have not even taken apart a few solar systems for a single dyson sphere yet, but already thinking that they are real gangstas.

                          Are we really intelligent though? Or, are we just in the habit of inflating our already gigantic egos? I don't think we are as intelligent as we let on.
