With the discovery of Proxima B orbiting Proxima Cantauri(closest star to our own) I've started thinking on this subject once again.An Earth sized planet within the habitable zone of its host star has amazing possibilities no matter how remote those possibilities.There are billions of stars in the Milky Way alone,no doubt imo that life is out there.

At our current level of technology it would take 70,000 years to reach Proxima at 4.2 light years away which is nothing in galactic terms.The level of technology required to be able bridge that gap is beyond human ability,and yet Proxima is right next door.Humans can comprehend the idea but the ability to make it happen just isn't there.

Is it possible that somewhere out there something has figured out how to bridge those gaps?
