Because of the vastness of those distances, practical interstellar travel based on known physics would need to occur at a high percentage of the speed of light; even so, travel times would be long, at least decades and perhaps millennia or longer.
How long until we can travel space?
The first initial civilian space flight is planned for early 2022. Four people will fly to stay at the International Space Station for ten days. Space Adventures is one of the older space tourism companies and launched in 1998.
How fast can we travel in space with current technology?
The fastest ever spacecraft, the now- in-space Parker Solar Probe will reach a top speed of 450,000 mph. It would take just 20 seconds to go from Los Angeles to New York City at that speed, but it would take the solar probe about 6,633 years to reach Earth's nearest neighboring solar system.
