It will take 20 years to get there, assuming nothing destroys the probe (meteors, aliens, black holes). Then it will take another 5 years for any information to get back to us by radio (syempre wireless yan!)
At dapat naka aim yung antenna sa aten.

Hindi naman ata sila ang pupunta hehe tama ba? Kungdi sasamahan nya or susuportahan ni Mark Z sila Yuri at Hawking kanilang proyekto 
Ang pagawa ng probe or maliit na kagamitan para mapabilis ang travel time. IMHO
Ang pagawa ng probe or maliit na kagamitan para mapabilis ang travel time. IMHO Sya ba mismo o meron syang ipapadala? O spaceship probe lang? I don't think tao ang sasakay sa spaceship, baka robot or droid or something.
Yung mga pumunta ng Mars, Jupiter, ... mga remote controlled robots lang yun.
Space probe lang po ata yung ipapadala doon sir Dabs parehas lang rin sa mga pinadala sa ibang planets mukhang malabo mabuhay ang tao sa 20 years na pagbabyahe ng tuloy tuloy sa kalawakan pag nagkataon kahit na maraming supply ng pag kain.Yung mga pumunta ng Mars, Jupiter, ... mga remote controlled robots lang yun.
Buti 20 years lang maaabot na ng probe yung nearest star, after 20 years sana buhay pa ako para makita ang balita kung ano ang meron dun

Good luck. One way trip yan.
Oo nga po sir Dabs magandang exploration 'to at pag nagkataon for the first time in the history may maaabot ng star ang mga tao sa mundo, antayin nalang natin after 20 years. Sana magtagumpay itong pinaplano ni Mark Zuckerberg at dalawang Russian Billionaire.
Good luck. One way trip yan.

Sasamahan ni Mark Zuckerberg ang Russian billionaire na si Yuri Milner at si Stephen Hawking sa pagpunta sa Alpha Centauri, ang pinakamalapit na star system sa Earth.
From Mark Zuckerberg's facebook account.
I'm proud to join Yuri Milner and Stephen Hawking for a new space initiative to go beyond our nearby planets to explore other stars for the first time in human history.
Our nearest star, Alpha Centauri, is 4.3 light years or about 25 trillion miles away. Even with today's fastest spacecraft, it would take 30,000 years to get there. That's too long.
The new idea here is that instead of using large spacecraft burning fuel like people have in all traditional space travel, we're going to create a fleet of tiny spacecraft -- or nanocraft -- that we can accelerate to 20% of the speed of light using an array of laser beams from our planet's surface. At that speed of 100 million miles per hour, it will only take 20 years to reach Alpha Centauri. This is a completely new way to think about space travel and exploration.
The reason this project is important is recent research has found many stars have planets within a distance where they could have water to sustain life. That is, they're close enough to their star that any water isn't frozen but not so close that it has all evaporated. But just because a planet is in this habitable zone doesn't mean it has water and is a place we can actually live. For example, Mars has no water, so it would be difficult to ever live there. It's quite possible the closest planet that humans could actually live on is orbiting Alpha Centauri, and the only way to know that for sure is to visit close enough to photograph the planet, which is what this project will do.
Over the years, Yuri and I have worked on a number of science initiatives together, including creating the Breakthrough Prize. I'm excited to support this latest initiative with Stephen Hawking, and to help bring human space exploration to the stars.
