Only 470 light years, like we could ever get to the Moon.

We have the only planet that supports life, blackjack, hookers, and can be reached by pickup truck.

Microbes can exist in radioresistance conditions.D. radiodurans can survive in radiation intensity far surpassing that which in human beings can survive.. D. radiodurans has been dubbed a polyextremophile because it can endure many extremes such as cold, vacuum, dormancy, oxidative damage, and other factors, including of course, radioactivity.

But that's only because alien life is so much more advanced than we are. We are *so* going to be the galactic version of Sea Monkeys...
