Exoplanet Ross 128b an Earthlike World?

erlin has just been discovered! (For those of you who are familiar with the Elite universe….Ross 128 is the system which is host to the Merlin colony, an earth-like world which actually is a moon of the gas giant Aster in the game.) The similarity of Merlin and this discovery might be astonishing! I certainly hope the folks at Frontier are paying attention to this news item.
