Funny. So you provide me a reasonable and plausible explanation (based on real science) for how humans will some day visit a very close G singlet star, maybe 80 light years from Earth. How many humans will be needed on the spaceship? How many tons will it weigh? How fast will it go, and how will it accelerate and decelerate? What is its means of propulsion? What resources are required on the ship? And so on. No fantasies like, we will just beam ourselves up, or we will crawl into a worm hole and magically appear at the other solar system. Good luck!
