Not far enough.

The Earth is too close as far as I’m concerned.

Hey, that's close enough for me. I've made a decision (a la George Clooney): When Harris/Biden are elected next month, I'm moving to Beta pictoris b or c (whichever one has cheaper airfare). I'll send postcards.

It seems fuzzy — I was hope for Beta Pictoris. If you know what I mean.
