We already have the means to travel among the stars, but these technologies are locked up in black projects, and it would take an act of God to ever get them out to benefit humanity. Anything you can imagine, we already know how to do.

The Manhattan project was kept secret with thousands working on it...

It's not secret any more. Every secret and facts for work over 5 to 6 decades without a single leak? Busy death squads I guess.
