NEW YORK: An Internet investor has enlisted famed
physicist Stephen Hawking and Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg to help

Powered by energy from a huge, Earth-based laser, the spacecraft would fly at about one-fifth the speed of light. Their target would be a planet with potential for holding life. No such planet has been discovered yet at Alpha Centauri, but experts say one may lurk there.
The spacecraft would take 20 years to reach the star system, where they would make observations and send back data.
