Cant they try finding places more near us ?
We have a way to reach it mate but it would take a long time , with an ion drive powering a spacecraft at a constant 1g it would take less than a year to achieve near light speed , then we'd have to wait 40 years for the signal our probe sends back to reach us.
Proxima Centauri b , 4.5 Light Years away , its in its star's habitable zone and it's a bit bigger than Earth , I'm guessing that'll be our first extra-solar destination.
I dont think i see this in my lifetime i'm afraid
Last time America was in Moon was 1972 . They should speed up litle bit is my sincere hope .
