Astronomers Debate Where 1st Interstellar Starship Should Go Exploring

Scientists debated possible interstellar destinations at the 100-Year Starship Symposium, a weekend meeting sponsored by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) to discuss planning the first mission to another star system.
Among the top priorities for choosing a star to target is its potential to harbor life, said astrobiologist Jill Tarter of the SETI (Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence) Institute. [Gallery: Visions of Future Human Spaceflight]
