Planet near Proxima Centauri (Travel time)
Earth-like? I'd believe it when they get there. Here's the travel time:
-Current rocket technology (if a large enough one could be built): 120,000mph. 25,000 years to get there. -Project Orion 10,000 ton class ship: 80% speed of light peak speed. 14 years. http://www.cnn.com/videos/world/2016...d-orig-nws.cnn
