Time it will take

the closest star that has planets orbiting it, may take
seventy thousand years to reach. The star is a little
red sun, a aged sun, with a small number worlds in
orbit around that star sun. Moons are not known,
water and terrain not yet known, the value in terms
of water and breathable air is unknown, the positive
value is golden. Send a moonbeam there, is one
thing, send a spaceship is another thing. When the
Spaceships arrive and there is less than positive
finds you may have wasted all our time.
Looking back on that, and I am not H.G.Wells
nor Nostradamus, but reminded of a few words
of a prayer, " World without End ".
