A closest exoplanet found
Since the first discovery of the first exoplanet, which found orbiting in the star, 51 Pegasi, I would like to inform all of you that there's a discovered exoplanet found in the closest star to our own: Proxima Centauri.

Here is the article on CNN.com and the video below.

That video is awesome.  It evokes the sense of a command briefing animation.

(The news is pretty cool too.)

those among us who have read Three Body Problem may now commence panicking quietly.
If I'm just aching this can't go on
I came from chasing dreams to feel alone
There must be changes, miss to feel strong
I really need lifе to touch me

Personally, I think what we need to do is build a ship, staff it with a bunch of people with mutually contradictory ideas, have the captain get assassinated, and then let them thunderdome it out while hoping they don't get eaten by Mindworms.

Race you there.  If we can hitch a ride on something about as fast as Solar Probe Plus, see you in a little over 6000 years.

To quote the authors of The Expanse series:  Space is too damn big.

And to quote Douglas Adams: "Space is big. Really big. You just won't believe how vastly, hugely, mind-bogglingly big it is."

Isn't proxima the target of those small thousand drone sail ships they are currently prototyping and getting funds to produce and launch?

Technically that's Alpha Centauri but I'd be very surprised if they haven't decided on a new course for them already.

Did you know Russian billionaire Yury Milner is going to launch a project to explore Proxima Centauri or Alpha Centauri or both nearests stars to Earth?

Re: A closest exoplanet found
the advantage of the russians doing it is that if they send their immortal Academy of Scientists then they don't have to faff about with cryogenics or generation ships
The good Christian should beware of mathematicians, and all those who make empty prophecies. The danger already exists that the mathematicians have made a covenant with the devil to darken the spirit and to confine man in the bonds of Hell.

Or we could do it ourselves, in our own, libre, open source, and DIY way. The Libre Space Foundation is a good place to start.
