- mabbo 8y agoIt's not the time, it's the energy. To get to the nearest star (4LY away) in 200 years, you'd need to accelerate to 2% of light speed (6000km/s) and have the means to slow down when you arrive. And that's just the energy to move you- how do you stay fed, etc, for 200 years far from any star?
