Alpha Centauri !!

Just found out how long it will take to get to our nearest star
system travelling with our present technology ?
Apparently it will only take 75,000 yrs?
By the time the poor buggers want to come back will there be
anything to come back to ??

Re: Alpha Centauri !!

If word could be spread that there is a planet within the system which will offer free benefits and accommodation, then I suspect that the time taken to get there would be reduced considerably

Hi

By the time they go and get back we will still be arguing about Brexit.

How sad is that.
