We do not yet have the technology to reach other stars. The farthest from earth that any manmade object has gotten is the unmanned Voyager 1 spacecraft, which has taken 36½ years to travel 19 billion kilometers, which is about 1/50 of one light year. The nearest star is about 4 light years, so it would take more than 7,000 years at that speed.
