Dr. Hasslein - "Why are we going to Alpha Centauri?"

"To put it simply, Alpha Centauri is the closest star system to our own in terms of interstellar distances and crew flight time. Coincidentally, Alpha Centauri is also the most promising with regard to having the chance of supporting a future colony or of even of having highly evolved life of its own. We have been studying Alpha Centauri for over fifty years now, and the more data that we collect, the more we are intrigued. Alpha Centauri is now within our technological grasp to reach, and it is with the criteria that we have judged Alpha Centauri to be a viable interest to both the United States and to the world. Upon reaching Alpha Centauri, all of our past achievements, even the fact of stepping foot on the moon, will pale in comparison."

...

"We believe that in these 'orphaned' areas of space, that both time and gravity may operate differently than by the means and standards which we understand, and thus you might think of these areas as 'blemishes' or 'bruises' on the otherwise pristine surface of the universe."
...
"We have discovered several of these mysterious phenomena that we have termed 'orphaned space' within our region. One such area exists in the region near Alpha Centauri. Our initial flights will try to gather as much data on this phenomena as possible. Future space flights near or through areas containing these phenomena may have to be careful to circumnavigate these orphaned areas in space until we can be sure of what their nature is and how they might affect a manned spacecraft as well as its instrumentation and crew."

The energy of this star(s) made me feel sick... Is anyone picking anything on this stars(s)? Please let us know.
