There are numerous credible designs for space ships able to reach a few percentage points of the speed of light.
Reaching 10% would be enough to visit nearby stars within a lifetime.
And once we can extend human life spans to many hundreds of years these journeys become even more achievable.

Homo sapiens have twice come to the edge of nuclear oblivion already (being saved only by luck essentially), and I would wager we are are speeding much faster towards nuking each other than reaching the stars.
