Hyperdrives yo. We need to fund that.

Well scientists were starting to look for more planets with volunteers, but I didn't expect a discovery this early.
Still though, this is very great info for when the sun reaches our planet within 5 billion years.

Not just one. Not even two.
Three.

40 light years
okay so going the speed of light will take 40 years
obviously we cant go c
so lets say we go about ~25 % of the speed of light ( thats slightly achievable if we try hard enough)
so about 160 years to get there
