[QUOTE="Thomas Bowman, post: 7513581, member: 6925649"] Suppose Toril was plane shifted to our Solar System as a Counter-Earth, with a sphere of wildspace surrounding it about 800,000 miles in radius, its moon Selune orbiting within that sphere. A spelljamming ship can fly around within that sphere, visit Selune and the tears of Selune within, but if it ventures out beyond the 800,000 mile limit, it loses its magic, its gravity and its atmospheric envelope, and everybody onboard dies due to exposure to vacuum. Since this planet appears on the opposite side of the Sun from Earth, no one immediately notices, however the gravitational effects of this planet's sudden appearance diverts the paths of some near Earth asteroids, and astronomers on Earth begin to notice these deviations after a few months, after their curiosity develops they train the cameras of some Mars orbiting space probes on the opposite side of the Sun from Earth and discover a new planet, a counter-Earth, spectrographic analysis determines that the atmosphere is breathable to humans and the mass of the planet is nearly identical to Earth. Now lets say this happens next year during the summer of 2019, on June 21st to be exact. NASA scientists are puzzled, and there is some talk about sending a space probe and eventually some astronauts. Elon Musk says that the BFR he is developing could land on the planet, and he asks for some government funding to accelerate the development of his rocket. Meanwhile NASA launches a space probe using a Falcon Heavy etc. How soon would Earth humans land on Toril? what do you think would happen then? What's your opinion. Assuming there is a sphere 800,000 miles radius where magic operates within but not without.
