Thank you for actually science-based, planetary real estate research. I never find this anywhere, and I'm 3.5 months old in Neptune time, old enough to remember when they tried to make Pluto a DEI hire planet.

I'll never get over humanity's despicable treatment of Pluto... Shameful!!!

“dwarf planets . . . and Oort Cloud” — evidence that J.R.R. Tolkien was an astronomer.

you might be onto something regarding Mars, also that would make for a great short film concept lol

love this so much! after this i am in a planet dilemma on which planet to inhabit. i agree with your assessment of mars though. so overhyped. mars is very yesteryears.

If you don't mind the commute, it's worth looking at exoplanets like Kepler-186f or TRAPPIST-1b. Both are non-smoking and pet-friendly, and you can find some screaming deals right now.

Uranus — the planet named for the express purpose of getting 14-year-old boys interested in astronomy. Anyone who has ever worked with astronomers can testify that it worked.

I'm not sure I understand. What's wrong with the name? I was simply expressing my deeply penetrating love for Uranus.

Just wait til you’re a 14-year-old boy. Then you’ll get it.

I wish I could swap my upcoming perimenopause for becoming a 14-year-old boy.

Mars dead last for sure. The craziest people are hellbent on getting there at any cost. The chances of running back into them are way too high.

My feelings EXACTLY.
