Yes, because deloreans can teleport or have 50 years worth of fuel in them eh? Even the one in back to the future only time travelled, it didnt change its location by 50 light-years.

If by 'Super' they mean 'Not currently being destroyed from the inside-out by Humans' than, yes.

Wouldn't it be cool if we got materials from space. Such as metal.

Just think, your every day currency of coins, your silverware or even your door knob could have been floating around in space since the beginning of time.

Damnit, ok. I fold. I'm mining the earth to make more heroin powered deloreans that fly through hyperspace 50 lightyears at a time.

It's just a matter of time until we find a planet that's very much like our own planet, in my opinion. That would be so cool.

yeah... I don't get why they're calling it a "Super-Earth" at all... it's not close to hospitable. Seems like more like a "Super-hot Mars" to me... or yeah, Tatooine.
