No. Just no. Why? Physics. First, nothing is faster then light. Second, we'd need the technology to be fast as light. That'd be exactly 1,079,252,848.8 km/h. Due the simple rule mass = energy = speed = light, our atoms would be decomposing and the human body and the "traveling machine" would turn into light too. in that moment, it would transform into pure energy. This energy needs to travel 42years until it reaches it goal. When the goal is reached, the single atoms would need to transform into the exact collocation, as they were 42 years ago.
This would be the same as Time traveling. Or simply, we would die, and everything around us would start to implode and turn into gasses.
Another point is : how would the human race survive this long time? we wouldnt be able to keep our body working, there would be not enough food, there wouldnt be enough water. There would be generations of incest, to keep the human race in the machine alive. Were not supposed to live 42 years without any nutriment.

You're right, but
your grammar isn't:then is not be used in the sentences like "I gonna be better then hampa" but its used like:example:" I pwn all and then I go home"
you wanted to say than , and thats the mistake what everybody makes and its make me kuffin' nervous
See my mug , it'll probably turn the flowers black

> Implying you can't travel 42 light years at a rate slower than that of light
> Implying people who build a ship meant to travel 42 light years wouldn't have the foresight to bring some food and water with them
> Implying people don't live longer than 42 years in the first place
> Implying everyone on the ship would have to be related
> Implying there's no such thing as sperm/egg banks/in vitro etc
> Implying all kinds of crazy shit that make no sense.
Why not just travel there slower than the speed of light, use a closed system to maintain water, use a greenhouse to grow food and convert CO2 back to O2, bring enough fertiliser or use molecular nets to collect atoms along the way..?
See, that wasn't so hard since I decided to think instead of derp around.
Its not even about whether we can build something fast enough to get there, I'm sure if we wanted to build a spaceship fast enough, had the funds, and had to motive the human race could build a ship by 2020 that could get us there within 10-20 years.
The problems are that we cannot get the funding (would be billions on top of billions, possibly even around a trillion USD, if you think about how much jets cost which is on average maybe 90 billion. An unfathomably fast spaceship would far exceed a 90 billion dollar plane.). Next we have the problem of surviving the trip. It will be extremely hard to build a ship that can get us from point A to point B in hyperspeed without turning the pilot to jelly in the process. Humans can't handle the speeds it would require to fly that fast. Pretty sure we would get compressed and explode oe something crazy.
Even if we could fly to the nearest inhabitable planet without the need of humans to be in the ship what would be the point?
"Okay we got here, we see that it's habitable, now what?"
"Uh time to go bring it home fellahs."
There would be no point in flying a ship to that 42 lightyears away planet unless we could get humans in mass numbers there in relatively good time without killing all of them the second the ship takes off.

I think it is possible, before we make ourselves all die? Maybe. But it is probably possible, think about it, people said that the car couldn't get anymore advanced at it's current state, when was that said? 1900. You know who said a person couldn't fly like the birds? everyone in the early days before the Write brothers. Sure we may say that there is no possible way for us to do this, but what if some person stumbles on the next step in space travel? It would then lead to a huge leap in that certain aspect.
The point is that there could be something out there that were not thinking about that is the key to achieving the goal. Even aspects of physics are not always going to be true, what if someone DOES find a way to travel faster than the speed of light, well off to the physics books to go rewrite them. we are innovating faster and faster every year, every day, heaps of information pilling on to our society and our scientist to soak up like a dry sponge.

Also Immortal Cow, just like in Wall-E! I knew that movie had a good idea in there.
