In a recent New York Times article, two Earth-sized planets have been found deep in the recesses of space. The next question always posed is, "Are they livable?" If you can live at extremely high temperatures, say, 1400 degrees Fahrenheit, than go for it. This find is important because finding planets that small in space is technically possible. In light of our early talks about evolution and ethics, I found this article very intriguing. Ethically speaking, if we were to travel to this planet to find living people or organisms similar to ourselves, what would we do? I think we would colonize. What do you think?
