U mean a plug that works on Mars may not work on Ursa Major?
Forget Mars, we should go to planet K2-18 b

Calculations with error prone measurement systems are risky. That is why NASA adopted metrics.

Yes. With Srsh, NASAs rounding off errors were accumulating and resulting in huge errors.
So they shifted from tonnes to kilos.

Got a spare million years to get there?Unlike Mars, this planet has CO2 and possibly water, which is essential for our own survival, unless we won't be welcomed by the indigenous people there.

Can this be reported to the United Federation of Planets?

Not really.
K2-18B is extra-solar so these chaps have no jurisdiction over what's beyond planet X.

We'll use a wormhole to circumvent that territory.
Wormholes are accessible to all so no worries.

It can. And not only to Federer Planets.

I am afraid that using warm holes is not rendering this issue any better.

Most of the member planets of the Federation are extra-solar. The 4 founding planets were Earth, Vulcan, Andoria, and Tellar. All but one is extra-solar.

While it might sound like a great bargain, note that the houses are all under water on K2-18b
I think I can age 38 million years.

Is there really any water in K2-18b with those temperatures?
SystemicAnomaly
Bionic Poster
What temps did you see? The sources I saw indicated that the equilibrium temperature is about 250 K (−23 °C; −10 °F) to 300 K (27 °C; 80 °F) and is believed to be a water world.

In order to enhance my knowledge about this planet, I applied the Srsh Investigation Method, i.e., browse Wikipedia.
And I got this
en.wikipedia.org
The article says that this (exo)planet is also known as EPIC 201912552 b, so I believe that @MichaelNadal would be very interested in it.
It's 124 light years far form earth. So travelling at the speed of light, it takes you 124 years to get there.
I copy below
K2-18b, also known as EPIC 201912552 b, is an exoplanet orbiting the red dwarf K2-18, located 124 light-years (38 pc) away from Earth. The planet is a mini-neptune about 2.6 times the radius of Earth, with a 33-day orbit within the star's habitable zone. This means it receives about a similar amount of starlight as the Earth receives from the Sun. Initially discovered with the Kepler space telescope, it was later observed by the James Webb Space Telescope in order to study the planet's atmosphere.
In 2019 the presence of water vapour in K2-18b's atmosphere was reported, drawing attention to this system. In 2023, the James Webb Space Telescope detected carbon dioxide and methane in the atmosphere of exoplanet K2-18b. JWST’s data has been variously interpreted as a water ocean or a magma ocean planet with a hydrogen-rich atmosphere, and a gas-rich mini-Neptune. K2-18b has been studied as a potential habitable world that, temperature aside, resembles more a gas planet like Uranus or Neptune than Earth.
And I got this

Elon Musk is reportedly working on a Warp Drive. When completed, we should be able to make the trip in 125 years or less.

What if the pilot and copilot fall asleep for 30 minutes simultaneously and the ship lands up in another galaxy.

They should pull the retro lever for 30 minutes.
It's in the User Manual; you can consult it in the Internet.
They should not employ Indonesian pilots lol. I nominate Sentinel and Sudacafan as the pilots.

No chance of that. Warp drive won’t get us to the next galaxy. It’s 2.5 million light years away.
But if we wait another 5 billion years, the Andromeda galaxy will collide with our own galaxy. Hold off on buying your ticket to Andromeda until then.
