What bus goes to Alpha Centauri

And don't forget a towel.

hard to believe this was done nearly 20 years ago

love me some Spadina and Kensington Market

A timeshare might be hard to sell if you end up not wanting to go there again.

1986, right?

That was 27 years ago.

Man, that takes me back.

I can remember driving around with my friends singin' along to this on the 8 track.

Still sounds good to me.

This was another fav of mine from that album

I wanna take Hazy Davy to Alpha Centauri.

Oooo . . . bus songs . . .

C'mon baby, take a chance with us
And meet me at the back of the blue bus

The world's greatest rock accordianist . . .

could be - I thought it had been recorded in the 90's but it sure could have been the 80's

The Jupiter II of course.

You don't need any busses ... especially to Alpha Centauri Bb. If you cannot imagine what a temperature of 1200 deg. C is, here are some references about the melting points of some metals:
- lead (Pb) - m.p. 328 deg C
- aluminium (Al) - 661 deg C
- copper (Cu) - m.p. 1085 deg C
With an iron sheep you will be at the edge of melting - 1538 deg C, and also with a titanium one - 1668 deg C.
You shoud go there with some ship of titanium or wanadium ceramics and insulated with solid layer of carbon penoplast. Your shoes have to be made of ... ceramics of silicon carbide, and you shoud line your lungs ... inside ... with fireproof flame-resistant neopren rubber.
In the summer in the tropic zone the air may be in the form of plasma (2500 deg C) ... but these are details.
BTW we travel in space and time all the time. We travel with the Earth around the Sun, we travel with the Solar System around Saggitarius, not to say that the Milky Way also travels in the Universe. Where are you going to travel. There is no place like home. We live on a tiny beautiful blue planet ... that we are about to destroy very soon with the CO2 bacchanalia.

We don't have any real way of knowing if there might be anything habitable around AC and it could easily be that anything habitable you might find there would be around Proxima Centauri and not in orbit around one of the two main sequence stars which form AC.

Our own solar system with rocky planets in the habitable zone of a main sequence star is an aberration. The vastly more common situations are going to be planets orbiting a dwarf star, or orbiting a gas giant which is in the habitable zone of a main sequence star. Planets orbiting a dwarf star would be more difficult to detect.

I'll stick the kettle on so...

Whenever life gets you down, Mrs.Brown
And things seem hard or tough
And people are stupid, obnoxious or daft
And you feel that you've had quite enough

Just remember that you're standing on a planet that's evolving
And revolving at nine hundred miles an hour
That's orbiting at nineteen miles a second, so it's reckoned
A sun that is the source of all our power

The sun and you and me and all the stars that we can see
Are moving at a million miles a day
In an outer spiral arm, at forty thousand miles an hour
Of the galaxy we call the 'milky way'

Our galaxy itself contains a hundred billion stars
It's a hundred thousand light years side to side
It bulges in the middle, sixteen thousand light years thick
But out by us, it's just three thousand light years wide

We're thirty thousand light years from galactic central point
We go 'round every two hundred million years
And our galaxy is only one of millions of billions
In this amazing and expanding universe

The universe itself keeps on expanding and expanding
In all of the directions it can whizz
As fast as it can go, the speed of light, you know
Twelve million miles a minute and that's the fastest speed there is

So remember, when you're feeling very small and insecure
How amazingly unlikely is your birth
And pray that there's intelligent life somewhere up in space
'Cause there's bugger all down here on Earth
