Philip the Bard's Harappan Blog: Planets in the Neighborhood.


Greetings valued readers. Thanks for being here.

We’ve been talking about the SID and their stellar exploration program. Due to the constraints of their space ships, them needing refurbishing after every trip, the SID did not explore extensively. What did they find? Did they make any amazing discoveries. Um not really. Most historians look at their exploration as something of a failure. They found only one system with life and that life was silicone based and toxic to humans.

What else did they find? A lot of gas giants and a few rocky lumps. They did find one world (Smoot 29-432-Delta) that has potential for Terraforming. It is in the Goldilocks zone and has plenty of liquid water on it’s surface. There is some simple life there but nothing more complex than bacteria. The SID was preparing to begin a program there but their political issues prevented that from ever taking place. Occasionally someone will bring up going there and starting the process of making this planet livable. I don’t see that happening until we’ve filled up Kusha which ain’t happening for many years to come.

There were a few interesting planets found and some mineral resources located but most of those resources remain untouched with the collapse of the SID.

Next week we’ll detail some of the interesting worlds the SID found.

Tomorrow: Bubba the Science guy will discuss new findings that relate to the Gavaskar Field Theory of the Universe.
