Why It's Nearly Impossible to Leave the Solar System

Original: Why It's IMPOSSIBLE to Leave the Solar System

Renewed attention on the immense challenges of interstellar travel: the enormous distances involved, the limited speeds of current spacecraft, radiation, and the energy required to escape the Sun's gravity and reach another star. Commentators note that even probes like Voyager 1 would need tens of thousands of years to reach the nearest stars, making human travel beyond the solar system effectively out of reach with present technology.

Why now: Ongoing public fascination with space exploration and the limits of current propulsion technology
