**PRESS RELEASE**PRESS RELEASE**PRESS RELEASE**
While the astronomical world was abuzz today with the discovery of an Earth sized planet "only 4.3 light years from Earth," dubbed Alpha Centauri Bb, Galileo Feynman announced his discovery of an Earth sized planet one million times closer. He is calling the planet “Venus.”
"Venus" is only.00000443 Light Years Away From Earth.
Scientists are excited about the possibility of colonizing Alpha Centauri Bb which, according to Space.com, has a surface temperature of 2,240 degrees Fahrenheit. Feynman asserts the temperature of his so-called “Venus” is substantially below 1,000 degrees Fahrenheit. “While colonization of Alpha Centauri B b is certainly a good idea for its discoverers,” Feynman said, “we may want to send others to Venus first.” He listed a series of prominent Republicans and pundits.
Although The New York Times says the discovery of Alpha Centauri B b brings "the search for another Earth about as close as it will ever get," Feynman speculates that there are other small planets much closer to earth. In addition to his so called "Venus," he named other potential planets "Mars" and "Mercury," suggesting that we might have already landed one or more probes on them. In a flight of fancy, he also suggested that some huge planets near Earth might have moons of their own which would be colonization candidates. He offered suggested names of "Titan" and "Europa." Space colonization, of course, is inevitable.
