Another habitable 'earth-like' planet, across from us, on the other side of the sun.

More than 20% efficiency
Batteries that last more than 3 years at a reasonable cost

Oh, you meant our Solar System, not solar system...

I'd like a Bizarro earth a short distance away so we could travel there and back quickly to see how things would turn out if we made the opposite choices.

-Less clouds and overcast during the Winter, more bright sunshine for better solar activity.

-An orbiting prisoner moon kinda like the movie "Escape from New York", but no escape.

-Another orbiting moon with no traffic, azzholes, or fat chicks where I can move to.

-A path through a comet trail that gently showers my lawn with gold and diamonds.

-All of this would be in a healthy atmosphere with no desease.

I would like substantial moonlight every night, as what you would get from multiple moons. More moon light, less "street" and light pollution from human sources. With that, it would be pretty cool to see more night blooming plants, etc.

I'd like more than one habitable planet in the solar system. Maybe a second one at a similar orbital distance but in a plane different enough that we come nearby only every few years. Hopefully to visit, comingle, celebrate, etc., and not to bomb each other...

I had to suffer through this movie with the misses. Not for the science minded.

Ya mean you didn't know about that?

Oh wait... nevermind... nothing to see here... move along, move along...


Not to be a buzz kill and I know this is all in good fun but as has been said life in this planet knifes on a razors edge and any minuet change in our galaxy would send us into chaos.

Having said that... wasn't there a planet in one of the Star trek episode where all the inhabitants were beautiful and gave away free sex?

Not that I would want to visit such a place... It would just be nice to know it existed.
