No.
The nearest solar system is how far away? About 4.2 light years. You know how far that is? About 24 trillion miles. You know how far that is, yet? It's too far. The New Horizons will go about 28,000 miles per hour. You know how long it would take to get to the nearest star at that rate? About 100,000 years.
And that's hoping the nearest solar system has developed, intelligent life like humans or apes.
What if not the 1st, but the 8th does?
That's about 10 light years away. That's about 60 trillion miles away. 60 trillion miles away, going 28,000 miles per hour is what? That's right. It would take 244,000 years to get there.
I know what you're thinking. WE CAN MAKE FASTER SPACECRAFT!
Sure. But how fast? A spacecraft that can go 500,000 miles per hour? Haha, but let's play fun and games so you're an asshole.
How long would that take to get to the nearest star?
Only 5000 years.

Jenson, are you an AmeriCAN, or an AmeriCAN'T?
I'll have to go find the article about the physics grad working at the University of Alabam (I think) on propulsion with anti-gravity. They speculated that anti-grav propulsion could be the foundation for future propulsions, such as an impulse drive. Donger may actually have knowledge of this, as subjects such as these are seemingly his hobby.
