My point was that you don't need to go fast if you have plenty of time. You just need to get out of gravity which we can do.

- hermitcrab 3y agoGoing slowly has it's own issues. If it takes you 100,000 years to cross the space between 2 stars, you are going to need a lot of energy/food to keep your crew/robots/computers going - because there isn't going to be much solar energy available. Also is any civilization going to invest the effort to create a probe/mission that they are not going to hear back from over that sort of time-scale?
