given the current level of technology, how much time would it take to voyage to nearest non-lethal star?

Answer 1

The closest star is proxima centauri, which is about 4 light years away. Lets say with current technology (plus being modestly charitable) you can get a spaceship up to 100,000 miles per hour.

Someone do the calculations (its gonna be a friggin long time).

Answer 2

For the current level of technology, lets use the Voyager 1 space probe, which is moving at 17.5 km/sec (that's about 39,000 miles per hour). The distance to the nearest star is about 4.3 light-years.

Doing the math, I get =72,000 years for the trip. If we really tried hard, and spent a LOT of money, we might be able to launch something that moved 10 times faster.

I don't know what you mean by "non-lethal" star. They are all lethal if you get too close, and they are all non-lethal if you stay a reasonable distance away -- say, a couple of light-days.

Answer 3

All stars are leathal when you get close to them. The nearest star is proxima centauri it is 4.2 light years away which is 25 trillion 200 hundred billion miles. The fastest man has ever gone is 26,000 mph. This would mean it would take 15,282 years to get there. Bon Voyage!

Answer 4

All stars are lethal (even our own)if you approach them too much. If you mean habitable planets orbiting starts somewhat simmilar to ours, the closest are about 6 light-years away. If a spaceship launched form earth would intend to head just there and would thus use all available technology (including using the large plantet's gravitational fields to it's advantage) it would take about 55,000 years.

Answer 5

If an uninterrupted transmitted beam as what I've seen as well as discerned on empirical evidence, distance would be immaterial, one would think.

Once you are there is what you should concern yourself with as space is a hostile environment.

If you want to risk a molecular transfer like that not knowing the physiological dynamics yet discernible in space is up to you.

I'm not quite that adventurous yet nor have that much faith in extant technology.

Answer 6

if you actually mean to be on a planet you can live on next to a star then the journey would take 0.000000000 seconds as the sun is the nearest star of that discription and you are already on it's most habital planet.

Answer 7

how is a star supposed 2 b non-lethal???

Answer 8

Don't go, it's not really that bad here if you find the right partner.
