XKCD comic, described below.
Transcript

[Ponytail stands on a podium giving a presentation in front of a slide with an image of a Voyager-like spacecraft.]

Ponytail: Our probe can reach Alpha Centauri in under 35 years.

Offscreen voice: We should go somewhere else. Alpha Centauri sucks.

Ponytail: Huh? It's the closest, most convenient system!

Offscreen: Yeah, but I checked online and it only has three stars.

And let's be honest, it's more like two and a half stars. Proxima is barely a star and barely bound to the system.
