40 light years distance for a satellite observation of this star in nearly impossible. According to Al Gore and company, we will all be toast long before that so why waste money on sending out a satellite to send back pictures to a world that doesn’t exist, or at least without humans to receive them.
NASA has really got to get their priorities straight, and get their P.R. asses out of the Islamic world too.
