Can We Get to Alpha Centauri?

The video discusses the challenges and possibilities of interstellar travel, focusing on sending probes to Alpha Centauri, our closest star system. It highlights the discovery of an Earth-like exoplanet, Alpha Centauri BB, and the immense distance of 4.3 light years. Current technology would take thousands of years to reach it, but future propulsion systems like solar sails or antimatter engines could make the journey feasible within a human lifetime.

Discuss the implications of the distance to Alpha Centauri for human exploration.
