4+ years away with a good ion drive(figure more years for excelleration and decelleration), it is tempting. But binary systems are a bit dicey for life, what with 2 suns circling a common center and all it would be hard for a potential ‘goldilocks’ planet not to be froze then fried each year.
cool flag though.

it seems even a good ion drive could only approach a small percent of the SOL. Never mind.
