I'd expect that to be a piece of pie in 6 billion years, should buy us a wee bit longer before the sun, well, dies.
Of course, I forgot about the possibility of a "Dyson Sphere", [like the one Scotty crashed into] the only problem at present is to get Mr Dyson away from vacuum cleaners, and get him to think a "bit" bigger Who knows it could well be one of his descendants that is predestined to save the human race.
