    Astronomers have announced the discovery of a world 4.3 light-years from our own. Will we ever reach it? http://nyer.cm/sOtf8V3

        Only by raising science tax to 80%, build SS Module, and win Space Race. I believe that we Babylonians can get to Alpha Centauri!

        @alanburdick we can already do much better than the 80k yr trip now if we wanted to. It'll be *hard*, but not impossible 2 visit.

        it's true that it's still ridiculously far away, but 80k years is worst-case-scenario, not an average.

        I appreciate the article regardless. Just think it's too depressing 2 think we're limited. We clearly won't solve our problems.

        so things will inevitably fall apart here, then that'll be the end of it. I don't want to think like that.
