Greetings again warriors
welcome to another star light travel show
open your mind and enjoy

Even the fastest humans and spacecraft launched thus far would take many thousands of years to reach the closest stars. Speeds about 75 times faster than this would be required if we hope to make an Interstellar trip in less than a hundred years. To understand the difficultly of interstellar travel, one must comprehend the incredible distance involved. Even the closest star is more than 266k times farther away than our own sun. Consider the speed of light , takes only 8 minutes to travel to us from the sun, but requires more than four years to get to nearest star.

A handgun bullet travels at 7720 miles per hour, but would take nearly 4 million years to get to nearest star. The fastest object ever launched into space is the Voyager 1 probe and would take nearly 75000 years to make the trip.

Todays chemical rockets are far too slow for interstellar travel. To have a hope of reaching the closest star in less than a hundred years, we would have to accelerate star-ship to nearly 30 million mph.
Rockets using nuclear fusion or antimatter propulsion could do the job but they wold have to be developed, it is theoretically possible that by warping space, a star-ship might travel faster than light without violating the law of physics within its own bubble of space-time.ï»¿
