4 years to reach the closest star but no earth like planets and about 50 years to reach an earth like planet.
I know some of you will say stuff like well they will have a technology that allows them to go from point A to point B in space and bend time and such. Well you are right about one thing, that is the ONLY way it will ever happen. I don't believe this is possible, there just isn't any solid facts to prove something like that is possible.

Now to top it all off 50 years to get back and during that time 1000's of years would have passed for earth so no one is alive that you knew and you spent you whole life traveling somewhere just to stop in and say hi. Thats how far we are talking here.

But to say it's possible to bend space and time to allow you to travel huge distances in short time while nothing we can observe can do this?
