Yes 31 years. If you are traveling at the speed of light.

[meep]

I'm so sad i won't be alive to experience space travel and settling a new planet.

[CrispyMOFO]

I seriously hope he was joking about it only taking 31 years to get there.

[ChilledFox]

Yeah let's hop over to another planet since we can't take proper care of our own..

[mrcwoodworks]

I’d be happy if humans could fix our pot holes on our streets

[joceygomez]

Then us humans finna go there and mess it up exactly like earth

[coolcucumber]

Easy. We can travel to that planet after we raid Area 51. And steal a ufo from there.

[raptorx]

Am sure humans would destroy it as they have done to Earth.

[Toonami-gbyu]

If we had spaceships like the ones in star trek or star wars we could be there in a couple of hours.

[Omar-suii]

Imagine IF there is human like creatures like us? Not necessarily looking like us, but similar.

[spooder-man]

If we had a ship like the Guardians Of The Galaxy did, it'd probably be a few clicks away.

For new horizion that is travelling at around 37, 000 miles/hr, it will still take 26 million years to reach there . It's about 1400 years away.We can keep finding potentially habitable planets, but unfortunately neva confirm life due to the time it would take to reach there.

[gavo]

how about we get our own planet in check before we go to another planet?

[chriscary]

"Super it only takes 31 years to get there"
The guy who doesn't pay attention in class

[brianlunsford]

We have had the ability to travel there for a long time family. Don't be mislead by greedy shepherd's. Awaken!

[finalbossoftheinternet]

They’re still treating people like they’re stupid, there’s an INFINITE number of “habitable” planets and living beings that we would be able to comprehend and also an INFINITE number of worlds inhabitable to humans but habitable to other beings that we cannot comprehend.

[itsallbiznz]

I'll pass... I wouldn't want to be the first to discover a new form of natural disaster, new types of killer species, new type of cold or heat, etc.

[jasoncasey]

I sometimes have dreams of being on other planets or the future

[meows_and_woof]

“ Just 31 light years away”
Yeah, a piece of cake

[beloveddcupid]

I’m not boutta go there ever w out knowing wtf kind of creatures lie in those new oceans and lands
