No one has any idea how to cross the void of space even to the nearest star.

All kinds of proposals have been put forth. At this point it would have to be a multi-generation ship.

But progress will happen. We went from ZERO powered flight to a manned lunar landing in 65 years, seven months.

None of these are practical proposals. The theories depend on energies that no one can conceive of generating.

I believe in basic research. No one can predict where basic research will lead. I HATE these stories that excoriate scientists that put crickets on treadmills.
