Could We Ever Travel To Kepler 452b?

Many have heard of the discovery of the most earth like planet we have seen from NASA Kepler 452b.  So it would make sense to try to travel there right?  Well to most science fans, they know it’s distance would be a challenge to say the least at with current technology:

Kepler-452b is the most Earth-like planet ever discovered, a place with just enough sunlight to possibly support the crops and house plants of life forms like ourselves.

But don’t pack your bags just yet. While the planet might seem like a tantalizing target for NASA’s next mission, it’s extremely unlikely that human beings will ever set foot on Kepler-452b, thanks to the 1,400 light-years.

The separate discovery of the closest confirmed rocky exoplanet to Earth, HD 219134b, was announced by NASA on Thursday — that one’s only 21 light-years away.

Let’s find out a bit more on what would need to happen as well as a cool video from S.E.T.I. on page 2
