On the 25 April 2007, scientists from the European Southern Observatory announced they had discovered Gliese 581 c, the first extra-solar planet that could be inhabited by life not unlike our own.
Mankind immediately wanted to know: How soon can we conquer this planet? Or at the very least, how soon can we destroy it so that no-one else can have it?
That same day, concerned citizens of Earth formed the Centre for the Destruction of Gliese 581 c, a non-profit organisation committed to that goal.
Know thy Enemy: Gliese 581 c
Because so little is known about Gliese 581 c we must assume that it is an UNKNOWN ENEMY OF THE EARTH until further notice. We would be negligent if we did not prepare for the worst and commit ourselves to the immediate and total destruction of this newly discovered miracle planet.
Scientists estimate it is 1.5 times the size of the Earth, therefore it's resources and materiels for war must be substationally bigger than our own.
At only 20 light years away, Gliese 581 c presents a near and immediate threat to the security of our solar system, including Pluto.
Can it be done?
The logistics of the task are daunting, but human ingenuity can not be underestimated. At current top-speed, any strike against Gliese 581 c would take hundreds of thousands of years to reach the target, however perhaps some sort of LASER device could be rigged up to destroy the planet within a 20-50 year timetable.
Besides, we have already pretty much destroyed one planet (the Earth), why should Gliese 581 c be any harder?
