about 186,000 mile per second. That means that in one minute,light travels 11,160,000 miles.The star nearest Earth is the sun.Its about 93,000,000 miles from earth.Therefore,it takes sunlight about eight minutes to travel to Earth.so when you see the sun,you aren't seeing it as it was eight minutes ago.Since the stars are much farther away than our sun,imagine how far back in time youre seeing them.It's obvious that humans will never travel to planets around even the nearest stars.
