We've already sent 5 unmanned probes meant for interstellar space, one of them Voyager 1 is in interstellar space. Sending actual people is a tremendously hard thing to do, sending probes is much easier, we already have they're just moving so slowly it will probably take 300 years to reach Alpha Centauri.
- dalke 10y agoVoyager 1 is going about 17 km/s. It's the probe with the fastest speed away from the sun. Alpha Centauri is 4.37 light years away. That trip would take about 77,000 years, were Voyager 1 pointed the right direction.
