”A civilization in the habitable zone of a dwarf star like Proxima Centauri might find it hard to get into interstellar space with conventional rockets” Good. The last thing we need is a bunch of aliens from the Proxima Centauri system showing up on our doorstep seeking welfare and demanding that we celebrate their culture.

Exactly why we need to get there first and we institute quotas so that Proxima’s can be documented and thus legal aliens. We should only allow Proxima’s that have skillsets that complement those on Earth.

Yep, it is the “4000-7000 angstrom privilege” issue Earth has been dealing with for 4 billion years or so. Man, those complaints get old after a while!
