If we where going there at the speed light it would take 600 years(with the average human years being 80 years) It would take six generations to reach it.
Now at possible speeds which we can do in the next 100 years.(roughly 1/16s the speed of light) It would take about 9600 years.
And that's IF we can go 1/16th of the speed of light.
Say we can go 10x the speed of light(Just saying) it would still be about a 60 year trip.
The only way that we can get there is if we find a way to use/make worm holes(Look it up)
Not to be a downer but I'd say it'll take humanity 300 years before we can even start prepping.
I wouldn't limit humanity yet. Our development increases exponentially.
Ignore what bitches tell you.
