[meteorite-list] We Have A Neghbor

[Sterling K. Webb]

Hi,
 
We have a neghboring planet 
only 4 light years away. It's 
small, earthlike, in the 
habitable zone of its star, 
yada-yada.
 
Everybody's going crazy...
 
Me too.
 
We could have a fleet of 
microprobes there (40 
years at 10% of lightspeed) 
before the end of this 
century, no sweat. 10-20 
years to build'em, 40 years 
in transit, four years to 
send the pictures back...
65 years from now.
 
Another wonderful thing 
I'll never live to see...
