Can you imagine what the spaceships of the future will be like? Imagine that spaceships will use nuclear energy as fuel in the future! Would those spacecraft be fast enough to reach the closest star to the Sun? And if so, who will go aboard those spaceships? Who would be the first to reach Alpha Centauri?
Currently, spaceships, even humanity’s most advanced and powerful, have many problems getting out of the solar system.
This is mainly due to two factors; the first is that the universe is vast, it is immense, and the distances that separate all celestial bodies are so enormous that they cannot be measured in kilometers but rather in astronomical units and light years.
An astronomical unit is the average distance between the Sun and Earth, equivalent to approximately million miles (149.6 million kilometers).
The problem of going out
To date, no human-created spacecraft has managed to leave the solar system.
Technologies that already exist
