Just looked on Wikipedia, it is 12 light years away. So how long to get there with conventional technology? I suspect speed isn't even the worst problem, harder to deal will radiation?
Also I suppose any such mission would have to be fully automated, remote debugging would be too frustrating with a 24 year round trip for information.
Have there been any spacecraft besides Voyager even launched beyond the boundaries of our solar system?
