Gliese 710 will fly approximately 1 light year from our sun a million years from now

So how will Earth life spread to it?  It's hard to imagine what we will have a million years from now... if there is a "we".  Interstellar travel being so tough it may be the best chance for a generation ship to make it.

in a million years it will either be as easy to get there as it will be to Sirius or Alpha Centauri or lots of further places or it will be equally impossible

If we don't reach it in say 10.000 years we will never reach it and its to short time for another species to become intelligent if we die out. 
Yes it will be multiple jumps to get to it but I'm sure getting closer to sun will be use to sell it

We should launch a probe to meet it now.  It could have a message engaged on it:

"Thanks for passing by!  Come back again soon!"

"What do you say now, Alpha Centauri?"

A generation ship of 1000 years is a lot different than 5,000 years.  This is feasible with fusion power and helium ion thrusters.

The nearest patrol ark will approach, enable the human spawner, and populate it.

If it is worth going to, we'd better be there a lot sooner than 1 million years. 

We were on slide 9 1mya

If we are not destroyed by ourselves or our AI there will probably be our recognizable decedents in a million years.  Our species is a quarter million years old.  There is reason to think our biological evolution has slowed, because of all the ways we have increased survival and lowered birth rate.

Cloud mind and customizable temporary bodies are the way.

The Dark Matter series had something like that.

"I never needed humans anyway. I have mindworms to keep me company."

I'll mark this on my calendar. Thanks for the invite.
