Vega is relatively close at 25 light years. At one tenth of the speed of light, it would still take 250 years to reach it from our solar system.

How much energy does it take a spaceship to travel at constant speed 90 percent of light speed?
It depends on the mass of the starship in question.
How long would it take to travel to the planet Gliese 581C by spaceship?
Gliese 581c is about 20 light years from Earth.With present technology,it would take many thousands of years to get there.
IF a bulb travels at the speed of light and is turned on will it glow?
It could not travel at the speed of light. But hypothetically, it would glow.
Can light speed ships be invented?
You are referring to space ships, of course. The answer is: In theory, spacecraft could be designed that might approach the speed of light ('way, 'way in the future), but according to our best current understanding of actual (not theoretical) physics, it is impossible to build a spaceship that could equal the speed of light, as it would cease to exist if it did!
Can a comet go a light year in 1 second?
No. A light year is the distance light travels in a year, and nothing can travel faster than light. Therefore, the quickest that anything could travel a light year is 1 year. A comet travels much slower than light.

Where would you end up if you could travel faster than light?
If you could travel faster than light, then you could also travel to the past. This is related to the definition of simultaneity, in the Special Theory of Relativity.If you could travel faster than light, then you could also travel to the past.

How long would it take by spaceship to reach the vega star?
That depends on how fast your spaceship can travel, and what kind of a route you follow.Spacecraft never travel in straight lines. But if you could do that, and if you kicked it up to,let's say, a million miles an hour, then you'd pass the moon in 14 minutes (it took the Apollomissions 3 days), and you'd be at Vega in only 16,970 years !
Is man can not be growth by going in a spaceship and it is going with a velocity of light is it real or not?
The part about the spaceship going with the speed of light is not real. I don't understand the earlier part of the question.
Can a human run light speed?
Light speed is over one billion kilometers per hour. Not only can a human not run that fast, no spaceship can ever travel that fast, at least according to the laws of physics as we currently understand them.

Gliese 581c is about 20 light years from Earth.With present technology,it would take many thousands of years to get there.
If I go very fast in a spaceship why am i younger than the ones left behind when I return?
because you have to go faster than the speed of light to travel in space and since light is the fastest thing in the universe, you are technically going back in time
What is realistic fiction way to travel at the speed of light?
You could try becoming a ray of light.
What thing go fast?
a spaceship. Or the light. I think that is the fastest thing.
Could cats travel at the speed of light or would they destroy it?
The answer is neither.
How long does it take for a human to travel to the sun in a spaceship from Earth?
Like any traveling it depends on how fast you are going, slowly will take quite a long time, yet very very fast will get you there a lot more quickly. if you travel at the speed of light it will take about 8 minutes.
How many time a beam of light can travel around the world in one second?
Light could travel seven and a half times around the world in one second.
