How Long Would It REALLY Take Us To Reach Proxima b?
In 2016, scientists confirmed a potentially habitable world orbiting our nearest stellar neighbor. For the first time in history, we had a real target beyond our solar system. But here's what nobody wants to admit: we will never reach it. Not in a hundred years. Not in a thousand. Not ever.
This isn't about funding. It isn't about technology we haven't invented yet. It's about a 120-year-old equation that creates a wall no amount of human ingenuity can break.
In this calming long-form space documentary, we explore every propulsion technology ever conceived—from chemical rockets to nuclear pulse propulsion to theoretical antimatter drives—and calculate exactly where each one fails against the tyranny of exponential math. We examine why laser sails can't save us, why cryosleep solves the wrong problem, and why generation ships make everything worse.
