With our technology, if we had sent our Voyager spacecraft on an intercept course to the next nearest star to our sun, it would take about 100K years to arrive.

We can have probes there in about 20 years.

The irony of space travel: the first to venture toward the stars will be greeted by their generations-hence long-arrived descendants.
