For many astronomers and science fans the question is when will we be able to reach other stars using interstellar travel? Dr. Michio Kaku has some interesting insight on the question:
When discussing the possibility of interstellar travel, there is something called “the giggle factor.” Some scientists tend to scoff at the idea of interstellar travel because of the enormous distances that separate the stars. According to Special Relativity (1905), no usable information can travel faster than light locally, and hence it would take centuries to millennia for an extra-terrestrial civilization to travel between the stars. Even the familiar stars we see at night are about 50 to 100 light years from us, and our galaxy is 100,000 light years across. The nearest galaxy is 2 million light years from us. The critics say that the universe is simply too big for interstellar travel to be practical.

Looong time
I’m not so sure. There is “black science”, secret science. Trade secrets on steroids. Think Skunkworks, Phantomworks, etc.
Not in yours, or yours kids lifetime
All it takes is a little imagination and you’re already there.
Ugh years I suppose…
I was there last night. Andromada galaxy in my 10 inch telescope.

Even with all the “imagined” science in Star Trek, they never left the Milky Way. It is simply huge and that’s nothing compared to the distance between galaxies. We may see interstellar travel to some degree in 100 years but I think it would be thousands for intergalactic….and that’s assuming our species hasn’t gone extinct
If humans even survive long enough to try, probably not for a thousand years, maybe 500 at the least
We are already doing it with electro gravitic ships built 50 years ago….
Asimov pretty convinced me it is impossible with what we know now and near future. Time to start building and populating locally.
If someone will supply the billions of dollars for research I will show you how to do it. Magnatism my friends, magnetism
I would very much like to know about these gravitic ships. Would you be willing to educate me a little?

over 400 witness at 35 hours of testimony stating this technology exists and has been utilized since the Roswell incident.
Our species will destroy itself first!!!
Well, with all the religious institutions popping up….I say a long fucking time.
I’m leaving Tuesday at 4:00!
I acquired more Dylithium Crystals and a Fan Belt!
A wise man once said anything you can imagine is possible…. Ponder that!!

I’m sure we already can, just the rich don’t want to share
