You cannot do that with the current knowledge of physics. You cannot achieve or pass the speed of light, but you can theoretically achieve 99,99% of it. But it would be useless as time will be relative due to time dilation. It would bring more problems than solutions.
Another theoretical solution would be to use wormholes to pass instantly from a point to another. But that's plain theory and more SF.
It won't happen because nothing can travel faster than the speed of light. Even if you do get to the speed of light, it will still take 4 years to go the nearest star. Unless you somehow create a warp space or a worm hole, you can't deep space travel. srry.
Generational ships. Ships that take many generations to get anywhere. that's the only thing that can happen with our current technology.
Perhaps sometime in the future we'll discover a type of propulsion that can bend space allowing us to travel "faster than light"....but there is no way to do that now.
It will just take a lot of time. Maybe if we get to that point, humans will get used to spending several generations going from one star to the next. Interplanetary travel using nuclear propulsion might some day be like taking a cruise ship to another continent, but not interstellar.
Nope. Based on every law of physics that we know, which are for all intents and purposes perfect, it will never be possible to travel faster than the speed of light. Assuming we somehow get TO the speed of light, the nearest star would be four years away. Space is just too damn big.
Interstellar shuttle is attainable given issues like nuclear or perhaps anti-count technologies. I very plenty doubt it is going to likely be something like famous individual Trek, notwithstanding. I paraphrase Carl Sagan in announcing that it will no longer be like stepping onto an airplane and arriving at yet another famous individual some hours later. it is going to likely be some years later at ultimate. and it is going to require great quantities of capability to get there.
I believe there are ways to travel such huge distances. Its just humans have not found out how yet and probably wont on the evidence I have seen in my 33 years.
Pretty easy really.Basic teleportation.moving in and out of time at a specific frequency.Look into phase conjugation.Torsion physics in wikipedia.And the formation of zenon.

if we develop the materials (maybe) and find the wil land resources to build a space elevator we just might build a generation ship.
Nah - not really. Without some amazing breakthrough this planet is all we have.

Only thing on the horizon is Cryogenic hibernation, ie you freeze the crew for a hundred years.
