I had an Exoplanet once. :(
Traded it for a Maple 73’ Rickenbacker 4001.

"“Only” 63 Light Years away. LOL"
Yeah, my immediate thought, too. 63 light years away is an eternity to us slow-pokes... =:-)

It literally takes less than an hour to get there at 70 LY/h which is the current interstellar speed limit.
Totally doable.

No, but you have to wear a mask all the way there...unless you are actively eating or drinking.

think about it; at 186,000 miles per second, times the number of seconds in a year. wow
60 X 60 X 24 X 365 X 186,000= 5.8 trillion miles

Per the article; Beta Pictoris b (β Pic b), a gas giant up to 13 times the mass of Jupiter, was discovered in 2008 via *direct* imaging.
And below is the planet orbiting it's parent star.
