The Terra Firma Stella List is a list of stars that are:

• within 25 light years (ly) of Sol;
• and is a brown dwarf, or has at least one:
  • rocky planet/dwarf planet,
  • asteroid field,
  • gas giant,
  • Kepler body,
  • Oort body,
  • comet, or
  • debris disk

A few of these make sense because they are objects we can physically set foot on and begin mining operations and the like. The gas giant and brown dwarfs deserve some explanation though. In our solar system we find so many moons around gas giants to such a degree that some have proposed each gas giant is a failed star with a mini solar system around it. While the idea itself is debatable, the observation isn’t. The moons are often even rocky ones we could embark on with enough preparation, just like the rocky planets of the inner solar system, dwarf planets, asteroids, comets, and moons. So the stars with the above attributes are all likely to have some economic value to us and be targets for future missions.

This then is the Terra Firma Stella List:

1. Sun (you are here): A complex eight planet system with high metallicity, an asteroid field, dwarf planets, Kepler bodies, an Oort cloud, AND a habitable planet. Except we’re already on it.

27. Gliese 682 (Scorpius): A red dwarf with a possibly inhabitable planet by humans, 16.6ly from Sol.
