And of course, we have no technology capable of accelerating anything with mass to even an appreciable fraction of the speed of light. Any surveillance craft we send to Proxima Centauri will not transmit any results for generations. But it would be interesting to start now, so our descendants could see what’s going on over there instead of looking at simulations.
Well don’t send a boatload of dems over there as it would soon be uninhabitable.
