Alpha Centauri: Habitable-World Prospects and the NASA-Supported Pellet-Beam Propulsion Concept
To the point
Alpha Centauri is a nearby triple-star system that could host rocky, potentially habitable planets, especially around Proxima Centauri, but true habitability depends on factors like atmosphere and geology, and while NASA is exploring pellet-beam propulsion for a future interstellar mission, reaching Centauri would require many years.
