Thanks space shuttle - it last flew 21JUL11, over 5 years ago.the iss was mostly build by the USA and payed bythe USA, thanks spaceshutle

We use anti-matter that can get up to 20% of the speed of light, build a ship that can support 3-5 people with shielding strong enough to take the beating.

going to space would only cost about 100 trillion dollars
and about 500 trillion of that would go back into the economy
somebody please built a interstelar colony ship before we destroy ourselfs on earth
Maybe if we learned how to cryogenically freeze humans for the 78,000 year trip. That would be one way. That's how long it will take unless we can figure out warp speed. So what's your rush?somebody please built a interstelar colony ship before we destroy ourselfs on earth
I think the best use of our energy is to find out if this planet has 1. atmosphere and 2. is habitable....Once we do then we have a real reason to build a real ship to move some of our population to it. I doubt at this time we could build such a ship without a real mission and get the resources to do it.
We're sitting on a huge rock and have another large rock orbiting us. The problem is more than resources, it's energy. Once we crack the fusion problem, or develop some equally unlimited energy source, we will be able to put those resources to work for us.....
Or, instead of worrying about how long it takes to get to another prison/planet, why not build a ship the size of a planet? We have all the resources in the meteor belt and Mars.....

Pale Red Dot campaign reveals Earth-mass world in orbit around Proxima Centauri

Planet Found in Habitable Zone Around Nearest Star - Pale Red Dot campaign reveals Earth-mass world in orbit around Proxima Centauri
Astronomers using ESO telescopes and other facilities have found clear evidence of a planet orbiting the closest star to Earth, Proxima Centauri. The long-sought world, designated Proxima b, orbits its cool red parent star every 11 days and has a temperature suitable for liquid water to exist on its surface. This rocky world is a little more massive than the Earth and is the closest exoplanet to us — and it may also be the closest possible abode for life outside the Solar System. A paper describing this milestone finding will be published in the journal Nature on 25 August 2016.
Just over four light-years from the Solar System lies a red dwarf star that has been named Proxima Centauri as it is the closest star to Earth apart from the Sun. This cool star in the constellation of Centaurus is too faint to be seen with the unaided eye and lies near to the much brighter pair of stars known as Alpha Centauri AB.
During the first half of 2016 Proxima Centauri was regularly observed with the HARPS spectrograph on the ESO 3.6-metre telescope at La Silla in Chile and simultaneously monitored by other telescopes around the world [1]. This was the Pale Red Dot campaign, in which a team of astronomers led by Guillem Anglada-Escudé, from Queen Mary University of London, was looking for the tiny back and forth wobble of the star that would be caused by the gravitational pull of a possible orbiting planet [2].
Awesome and amazing news!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! A earth like planet in the habital zone of our closes star!!!!!

Hopefully, if there are people there, they poll those under 45.
