Universe Today- Proxima Centauri likely has a terrestial planet in Goldlocks zone!
#2
Interesting, but the whole bit about being reachable in our lifetimes is breathing a bit too heavy for the circumstances IMHO.

Yes, if something like Project Starshot is ever built (and when might that happen, and how long would it take to build), then it could send a probe within a human lifetime (if all goes as planned). However, note the number of variables there.

I would be happier if they spoke more in terms of 'a human lifetime', rather than making it sound like current readers will live to see this happen.

My 2c worth,

Todd
