据这个小组说，到了2024年，我们星球的计算机每年消耗的数据量将可以建造一堆足以到达下一颗星球- 4.37光年之外的半人马座阿尔法星-的书了。
By 2024, say the team, our planet's computers will be getting through enough data every year to build a stack of books as far as the next star, Alpha Centauri, 4.37 light years away.
然而，要到达26万亿英里之外的半人马座阿尔法星，携带和储存足够量的反物质难度极大，这种燃料不仅状态不稳定，而且耗资不菲。
However, getting enough antimatter for the 26 trillion-mile, one-way trip to Alpha Centauri and storing such a volatile fuel for long periods is prohibitively expensive and difficult.
值得庆幸的是，如果半人马座阿尔法星系存在生命，它们遭受此厄运的可能性微乎其微。
Fortunately, if life has taken root in the Alpha Centauri system, it is not likely to suffer this fate.
