...if they land in 2063 I might be alive to see it...

Er, Vulcan is at 40 Eridani A, not Epsilon Eridani. (I'd link to it, but for some stupid reason UBB won't allow a parenthesis in a URL!)

The system mentioned in the article in question is instead the location of Epsilon 3.

Not only did they get it wrong, I got an add for "Waterworld" with the story. Nice tie in with the Epic Fail.

They do mention that in the Trekmovie.com article Epsilon Eridani and 40 Eridani A are both the potential location of Vulcan.

They also hit on the fact that 40 Eridani is a trinary system - A is a regular, if chilly, K type star, but B is a white dwarf, and C is a red dwarf. You could have a planet there, but it would have to contend with some serious shit from B and C wouldn't it?
