Sure, it's a long way away, but everything is. It's 20 light-years away (which is the distance that light travels in a vacuum in 20 years) but that is very close when you consider that the milky way is 80,000 to 100,000 light-years across. The star is practicaly next door. I mean, sure, we wouldn't be able to get there in our lifetime but it is within the reach of humanity as a whole.
