Terrestrial (Rocky) Planet Discovered
KilgoryTrout writes "A 'super-Earth' planet was identified in orbit around mu Arae, a star 50 light years away. It orbits at 2 AUs and surface gravity is 14gs. Two gas giants have been detected in orbit about the star. Space.com's article suggests that it is a failed gas giant's rocky core."
We could just give them anti-grav belts... If a colonists anti-grav belt failed, like the batterys ran dead or something, then the gtavity would suddenly affect them and they would just go like squash! and turn to bloody jelly with bits of bone sticking out. It would be cool.
