Like in about as crazy as telling someone 200 years ago that man could fly from NY to LA in an hour?
200 years is not even a nanosecond in time but us humans have done incredible things in this short time.
Some things we didn't have up to 200 years ago that make me laugh:

Ah but flight wasn't something that was viewed as impossible, birds did it all the time.
I understand your point, but you are missing mine.
At this time the stars are beyond us, and unless we make a huge leap in our understanding of reality they will continue to be.
Is that leap in understanding possible? I think so, the quantum world is full of strangeness that demonstrates our universe is far far different than we see with our senses. If we can understand and use that who knows what might be possible.
I just want to make the point that people often vastly underestimate the magnitude of the problem.
Personally I think it's the wrong question.. why go to the stars when we can bring the stars to us? Model the universe in a computer and everyone lives there. Turn Earth into a large computer and we could house trillions of lives, and moving all of us in a computer is far easier than biological bodies, much easier to go to a new star when ours dies out.
Anyway, yes who knows what's possible, but speculation about what may be possible isn't evidence of aliens any more than it's evidence of astral unicorns that can take us to the stars.
