    Not to put a damper on this for every one but Proxima Centauri is the 3rd Star in A trinary star system and is roughly 10% the mass of the Sun so being in the habitable zone will probably preclude it from being habitable because of the increased radiation and solar flares (This being the tiny companion star orbiting two roughly Sun sized stars just think of the solar flares caused by tidal forces).
