no; current technology rockets travel at about 100,000 mph so it would take almost 7000 years to go one light year. The US launched a rocket (PIONEER) about 30 years ago and it has left the solar system and is expected to reach another star about 40,000 years from now.

∙ 7y agoLight can travel a light-year in a single year. However, current technology doesn't let us get spaceships - unmanned or otherwise - get anywhere close to the speed of light.

Is it possible to have 7 kids in one decade?
It is possible if you have a child every year.
Is it possible for humans to travel at the speed of light in outer space?
Speed of light is possible within a sphere.whereas controlled properties of the sphere can be introduced with technoligy in the year 2027.
How far can light travel in the year in a vacuum?
It can travel about 5.86 trillion miles in one year. This is a light year.
Is it possible for a person with a 70-year life span to travel farther than light travels in 70 years?
No, it is not.
How long would a message take if you are 6 light-years away from earth in minutes?
Light-year is the distance that light travels in a year. Therefore, it will take light 6 years to travel 6 light-years. So far, it has not been possible to send messages faster than the speed of light, and it will probably never be possible (read about the Theory of Relativity to get an idea about the reasons for this).
How many seconds does a ray of light travel in a year?
There are only 31,536,000 seconds in a year. So, light can only travel for 31,536,000 in a year.
How many second in a light year?
A light year is a measure of distance, not time. A light year is the distance that light will travel in one year. One light second is 186,000 miles. A light year is a measure of distance, not time. A light year is the distance that light will travel in one year. One light second is 186,000 miles.
The light year is measured by?
how far u can travel at the speed of light in a year
What is the distant of a light year?
It is the equivalent of how far light can travel at the speed of light in one year.
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.
How long does it take to travel 1 light year?
It will take 1 year, as soon as you and Albert work out how to travel at the speed of light. ;)
Why was a light year as the distance light travels in one year defined?
The light-year is the distance travelled by light in one year. Since the speed of light seems to be the speed limit in the Universe, it gives you an idea how long light takes, to travel from one place to another. If somebody says that Toliman is at a distance of 4.3 light-years, it means that light will take 4.3 years to travel from here to there, or from there to here. It also means that it isn't possible to reach Toliman in less than 4.3 years, however fast you go.
