Depends on your frame of reference. If you talk with respect to earth's time, it will take a looong time. But with respect to your reference frame, you will find that the clocks in the space shuttle show a much lesser time span.(because of time dilation)

It depends on how fast you go. It would take light almost 12 hours to get to Pluto and back. (I know, Pluto is no longer a planet, but I still like to think of the dwarf planet Pluto as marking the edge of our solar system) It will take the New Horizons space craft about 9 years to get to Pluto, and if it could come back at the same speed, which it can't since it used up almost all its fuel leaving Earth, it would take 18 years for the round trip.

There o.k. could be different life varieties on different planets than earth in our photograph voltaic device. we even have not executed plenty learn on planets Neptune and Saturn. although they are greater or much less gas planets, we even have no concept if there's a civilization on those 2. There o.k. could be. regardless of if the civilization of a few thing that may no longer human is there, i could have self belief it. think of roughly it. in step with risk there is a few thing it is alive on Jupiter or Neptune, or Saturn for that rely. the only concern is via the gassy planets we've got here across, we assume there is not any life because of the fact there is not often a floor on those planets and the air is particularly poisonous. yet who is conscious? in step with risk in accordance to the regulations of physics on those different planets, why could no longer there be a living organism that could adapt to the gases and environment to harbor life? We do exactly no longer know. - Stallion

first, how far away is the star?
secondly, if your travelling at the speed of light (3x10`8 m/s)
thats how long it would take at that speed. for a slower speed. a can't be arsed working it out.

Depends how fast your going but if it takes 6mths to get to Mars then quite some time. I heard somewhere it would take 8yrs.
