        "A nearby earth size planet." Not nearby in any sense. Let's say we could match the fastest speed ever achieved in a man made craft - 165,000 mph - would take us a mere 45,000 years to get there. Sign me up.

        It's all relative. There's stuff out there way farther distance than that. Nearby, compared to what?

        In case anyone is interested in going there, it would take a human spaceship about 300,000 years to get there going the fastest speed we've ever gone.

        It also used to take us 2 years to get from independence MO to Oregon. Source: The Oregon Trail

        The difference being with the Oregon trail we had to get around rocks, boulders and hills versus getting around the laws of physics.

        I mean yeah, obviously we can’t dial up a few astronauts tomorrow and send them at the speed of light to a distant exoplanet. Just saying it used to be hard to cross the Rockies. Now we have a robot rolling around mars.

        Or we could make it a Trump-Ryan-McConnell inhabited planet, and we could just stay here.

        First thing I thought of was how would our galaxy neighbours see us? Starvation. Homelessness. Pollution. Guns. Abuse. Sexual Assault. Violence. Oppression. Greed. Lies. Corruption. Intolerance. Racism. Sexism. All caused by humans. All fixable by humans.
