Earth 2‚ or Proxima b‚ has become the subject of discussion for scientist Guillem Anglada-Escude. He recently wrote a letter to aliens on Proxima b. And NASA may not be too happy about it. The aliens the letter was sent to live on a planet very similar to our own. So researchers believe. And this planet is actually not too far away‚ with respect to how big the universe is.

Before there was the International Space Station‚ before there was Mir‚ there was Skylab. The International Space Station has been home to eight resident crews who have performed fantastic research in the microgravity of Earth orbit. But none of this would have been possible without Skylab. From the launch on May 14‚ 1973‚ to the return of its final crew on Feb. 8‚ 1974‚ the Skylab program proved that humans can live and work in outer space for extended periods of time.

The probe can’t be that larger or heavy because it needs to travel to Europa in order to be useful. This means that the probe cannot go any deeper than 11 kilometers‚ the distance of one on Earth which is too large for space travel (Hsu‚
