One day, as an undergrad studying biochemistry at the University of Arizona, he made a list of all the things he wanted to do in life, which included travelling to other solar systems.

We will be able to look at things like new solar systems in formation and particularly the structure of so-called 'protoplanetary discs, ' where we believe a star is growing in the middle and planets are forming around the outside.
The problem is that brown dwarfs have been discovered orbiting other stars, and it is thought that planets can sometimes be ejected from their natal solar systems as a result of gravitational interactions, and may thus be found drifting in space.
