Lets give this new spacecraft a speed of 120,000 mph,it would still take over 23,000 years to reach our nearest star system(Proxima Centauri) lets advance even more, a newer spacecraft reaches 1 million mph,it will still take 2800 years to get to Centauri.

The above poster is right,unless we break the laws of physics interstellar space travel is just a thing of fiction. propulsion systems within these laws will never work.

But your right about one thing, humans are surprising and maybe someday Einstein will be proven wrong.
I ment it could be the domino that starts everything, but yeah something has to give for it to be feasible I agree.
