does anyone have any idea how long it would even take to get there at light speed?



considering its 20 lightyears away id say...20 years.

OT: this is really interesting. if it is indeed habitable that is even cooler....now we just need light speed times x amount so we can get there in only a few hours . though i think we should try to find a closer planet for such things as colonization and research. we just gotta make sure there are no alien indians there first.

we are not even close to getting to light speed any time soon. and it would take that long to get there at even the fastest speed possible. 

Imagine if an astronaut is 30 years old when he leaves, he would get there by age 50 and he would be 70 when he gets back. 40 years without seeing his family or friends. and that is without thinking about the food, but maybe they could possibly freeze untill they get there. Who knows? but it would still be very difficult to achieve
