When this one has been used up.

A temperate Earth-sized planet has been discovered only 11 light-years from the Solar System by a team using ESO’s unique planet-hunting HARPS instrument. The new world has the designation Ross 128 b and is now the second-closest temperate planet to be detected after Proxima b. It is also the closest planet to be discovered orbiting an inactive red dwarf star, which may increase the likelihood that this planet could potentially sustain life.

Don't worry as soon as Elon Musk flies his first warp speed spacecraft the Vulcan's will appear and the whole universe will be at our disposal.





I might be confusing this with a film.
