What is a Jupiter-sized planet good for, when humans can't habit it? There needs to be either a different word for earth-like planets or 'exoplanets' should only be earth-like, human-habitable, planets.
910 light-years is nice and all (or is it..), but in YouTube type something like 'why we will never reach Alpha Centauri'. Independent of this, Epic Spaceman‬ also says that that we are not going to leave our solar system (it's also in the beginning' short reel): 'Space Is Bigger Than Your Brain Can Handle | ‪@EpicSpaceman‬ - YouTube'.
