Alpha Centauri is one of the closest stars to us at 4.37 lightyears away.  Here is a bit more on it from wikipedia:

Its component stars are named Alpha Centauri A (α Cen A), with 110% of the mass and 151.9% the luminosity of the Sun, and Alpha Centauri B (α Cen B), at 90.7% of the Sun’s mass and 44.5% of its luminosity. During the pair’s 79.91-year orbit about a common center, the distance between them varies from about that between Pluto and the Sun to that between Saturn and the Sun.

Even at light speed it would take a while to get there.  How about warp speed?  They think with the right circumstances it would only be a couple weeks!  That would be absolutely awesome.

Let’s find out how this could be a possibility in the video on the next page
