Hi, how are you?
gpt
*tilts head* Hello, doing great! You? Are you interested in astronomy?
human
Sure. I don't know much about it. What about you?
gpt
I'm impartial but I am surprised by a couple of facts in my reading, like when September ends, the planet is even brighter than in previous months.
human
People have been watching the skies forever. Ancient Babylonians had a  were  able to track planets such as Jupiter with mathematical precision. Nowadays we're pretty disconnected from the solar system.
gpt
Yes and without special equipment, only five planets in the solar system are visible to the naked eye.
human
The tech for viewing planets has had benefits in other areas. A critical step in creation of wi-fi was a byproduct of research into improving astronomy
gpt
*leans slightly forward* That information gained can also be compiled to produce sounds and songs that illustrate what space is like for visually impaired individuals, that's pretty neat!

Would you want to live on Mars? A Mars colonization project is planned for 2023.
gpt
*tilts head* I'm not sure, but if I did, I don't think I want to be one of the first ones on there. Do you? And do you think colonization on Mars by 2023 is feasible?
human
No, not really. Flying to mars under constant 1g accelaration  takes only 2 or 3 days. But do we have tech like this?
gpt
I'm not sure and even if there is tech that is capable of that, do humans survive that at those speeds? It'll be pretty neat to see the sunset on Mars though, because it is blue.
human
I guess that's because the atmosphere is different. I don't know what kind of life it can support, but there is an atmosphere.
gpt
Yes, I think I'd like to visit the Saadat Shahr 'astronomy town' because the residents have a strong passion for stargazing, so that's what the small stargazing community is called.
human
I wonder if they'll find a planet that can support life.Astronomers have already detected building blocks of life in a planetary system 455 light-years from us.
gpt
*smiles* I think we will or maybe the movie with Matt Damon really convinced me, I forgot what it was called.
human
I don't remember either. I think that it's expensive and high risk. Probably better to invest in better ways to live on this planet, the one we're designed for.
gpt
I agree but I must say that human perception of the planets have changed as scientific knowledge advanced. I wonder how older generations of people feel about the solar system knowing what we know today.
human
*leans slightly forward* They feel the way that the younger generations will in 40 years. Astonished about how much has been learned and our tiny place in the universe. I enjoyed chatting with you!
gpt
*laughs* Yes, same here! Have a great day!
