That's very interesting. It seems like something out of science fiction, all these different worlds with their different properties. The question is, though - will we ever be able to make use of them? This planet, 55 Cancri e, is 40 light years away. How long would it take for us to perfect something that could go out there and bring back materials for practical use?
