" To put that in perspective, the Voyager 1 probe is flying out at 38,600mph, if it were heading in the direction of Proxima (its not), it would take 73,000 years to get there. "
Jeezz ... that's encouraging.... we are stuck on this Earth with liberals....

The fastest drive I believe we can develop at current technology is a nuclear pulse drive, that could theoretically top .1c (1/10th speed of light). But there’s also speed up/slowdown times, so it would probably take about 55 years to get to Proxima.

I don’t have time at this post to go into highly theoretical (Thermonuke pulse, antimatter, wildly theoretical Alcubierre [warp] drives) stuff.

the Centauri system is a multiple system.. interesting to read about
