Good exercise, but Red Dwarfs aren't great stars to live near.

  • They're unstable, ejecting radioactive crap all the time.

  • The habitable zone is very close to the star - like Mercury close - exposing you to the aforementioned crap

  • Planets around these stars are likely 'tidally locked', meaning one side is always getting baked. Life would need to 'hide' in places like the light-darkness line or the poles.

But, the search and find are a good exercise.

I could use an extra limb though, since I can shitpost faster with three hands instead of two.

Prep the rocket and cryo chambers Jeffy boy.
