That is pretty interesting. Surface gravity of 2G or so, and average temperatures estimated at 0-40 C. It'd be really interesting to see what has evolved there, if anything.

Let's see, 20 light-years away... that'll be within reach of our probes within the century, I'd guess. Can't wait to see what they turn up.

Seems to me that no credible probe could deliver results within a human lifetime of its launch. I cannot see any government being willing to fund such an enterprise even if it became technically feasible.
