Proxima Centauri B is the closest potentially habitable planet out there.
It could have just the right breathable atmosphere, and temperatures are in the bearable range.
It orbits a red dwarf star in a system with three stars in it.
A trip to the planet would take 165,000 years , give or take.
It's so far that we can't see if it has an atmosphere or liquid water.
Sending anyone on a mission like this is a huge risk. We'd need to design and build a vehicle, choose the space travellers very carefully.
We'd have to design new propulsion, navigation, hibernation and life support systems.
And we have no way of knowing if Proxima B is actually habitable.
Maybe a better idea would be to build a megastructure somewhere closer to the solar system.
