And when you’ve almost reached Proxima Centauri you’re just gonna crash into it in 20% the speed of light?

Life is probably all over the universe just sheer number of stars and planets remember more stars than they are grains of sand on all the earth beaches it's just so far away an our radio signals probably can only travel but so far before they get weak and the 2 spacecraft we sent out won't leave our solar system for another 30.000 years

Great video and imho,if the aim is finding life, interstellar travel is a giant, prohibitive mess…how many single star systems ( binary systems not conducive to life as we know it) and subsequently how many thousands of planets would have to be visited before we ever found anything resembling life…the odds have to be 1/100 to hitting a big powerball lottery…BUT if the aim is simply to boldly go where no man has gone before just for the sake of it I AM ALL FOR IT.

It's called a, "Generational Ship". Neil Degrass Tyson, talks about this. Whole generations are born, learn how to operate the ship and die, while still drifting on this ship, until the final generation finally reaches whatever new galaxy they may find. 5 Billion years from now, if humans are still around, we may have to do this to survive. If we haven't the tech to bend space at that time.

They're too far away. It's that simple. Time dilation.

Since the probe Voyager 1 left the solar system intact, it seems to me a manned vehicle would be able to.

Im sure whennthe fish were in the sea billions of years ago the thought the ones thst end up on land ..were fish as well and be flapping about on land
Or in a goldfish bowl that moves

There are more "dull" points 2 consider.
- How much would it cost? (Now we've a new Moon program 2 compare).
- How long would it take 2 build? (International Space Station cost 150 billion USD &was in construction from late 1980s).
- How long do the complex machines stay operational? (A Stone Age axe isn't an example).
- How many relativistic speed spacecraft have we built?

Why don't they build a Star ship in space like the enterprise

We dont even have hover cars yet....lol

The more mass you accelerate to a fraction of the speed of light, increase the amount of energy required. To send a generational spacecraft to Alpha Centari, would likely need the energy equivalent of a star for a year or maybe a decade. Meaning interstellar travel is IMPOSSIBLE.

Reduced cosmic ray shielding with intermittent wake-ups could make cryostasis feasible.
