[yquwrqew] Red dwarf power

Put a space probe in orbit around a red dwarf star and get "solar" power for a trillion years or more.  Watch out for flares and collisions with other orbiting bodies.

For a mission with such a long time scale, it's not so important to get there quickly.  Nevertheless, there are quite a few nearby red dwarf stars.
