Could we send a space probe to our nearest star, Alpha Centauri, that would still have enough power to send back information/pictures when it got there? How fast (as a % of the speed of light) could such a probe travel using existing technology? How many years would elapse from launch to when we got our first pictures back?

- exoplanets similar to Earth? Telluric exoplanets with atmosphere?

- Alright: exoplanets around a single star have been discovered.
But are there also discovered exoplanets in multiple stellar systems? (binary, ternary, ...)

I had a weird one where I remember only a few things:
1. There was a phone call.
2. The was going to be something different about the first lesson at school.
3. I needed to take something to school.

When I woke up and I remembered it, I ignored it cos it was just a dream. But it turned out:
1. I needed to phone my friend to ask about some homework.
2. I have a 'room change' for my first leeson at school.
3. I needed to remember to take my trainers!
!!!!!!! Spooky, eh?!!!!!!!!!!

if you burn hydrogen in air you get water this I know. If the density of water is several times that of air then we are talking a massive amount of hydrogen tied up in water so where did it all come from.
