This is a pretty cool discovery, but not overly useful until we can actually get there within 100 years, not 400 thousand.
Well, if it is just 20.5 light years away, you might be able to communicate with any intelligent life. Just like on Futurama, they might be watching a TV show "Single Female Lawyer" right now (well, maybe not that. Maybe some show that was broadcast 20.5 years ago).

EDIT
Haha, I can see I'm not the only one thinking Futurama...
