I decided to make a video on this exciting topic and I would like to share it with you guys: http://youtu.be/jF2juqeDa-E

I honestly can't wait 44 years for receiving the first images of Proxima b, I would be 70 years old. There must be another way of getting there sooner.
That is not long to wait, i will certainly be long dead before then; well unless someone wants to accelerate me to light speed for the trip to Proxima for a look see.
