No.
Its almost impossible.
Stars are too many light years away.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but the closes star to us right now is the sun!
♥ But really, one day,
something will happen & we will be able to pass the stars! with time travel & human technology.
[not touch them because it would be shockingly hot]
I heard that hypothetically, travelling to the sun the same speed as a car would take aprox 200+ & something years! Amazing huh?

Not hardly...
The stars are gigantic balls of molten gases undergoing the nuclear fusion of Hydrogen into Helium. Their surface temperature is way, way beyond any comparable heat source on Earth. The radiation given off by the fusion is spread across a wide spectrum covering visable and invisable light, heat, Alpha, Gamma and X Ray radiation.
You would most likely be fired to a crisp before you even came close to any of the stars. Our sun is 93,000,000 miles away. You can get very serious skin burns from exposure to the Sun's rays when exposed to them for long periods of time on the surface of the Earth. if you traveled outside the filtering effect of our atmosphere, skin damage would be more severe and occur much faster. You would only hasten these injuries and increase their severity by moving closer than the present 93,000,000 miles. So, if you plan to touch a star such as the Sun, I would recommend writing out your Last Will and Testament tonight. Other stars are much farther away from us than the distance to our Sun. I don't think any planning is underway to send space ships to any of the nearby stars at this time.
So, the answer to your question is "NO, you may not."

I am tempted to say insulting things, but you may be 4 years old, in which case, such a naive question is understandable.
Stars are suns.
A typical star is 1 to 2 million kilometers wide (some are much bigger).
The nearest stars are trillions of kilometers away.
