Simply put, it is simply too big. It takes our space probes months, if not years to reach the nearest planets. The New Horizons space probe, will reach Pluto 9 years after its launch in 2006. The farthest humans have gone from Earth is the moon, which can be reached in a few days. Longer stays in space have been accomplished at space stations in low earth orbit, which periodically receive supplies from Earth and can be reached fairly quickly in an emergency.

Assuming other barriers were over come, if something were to go wrong on such a long-term mission we would be unable to help the astronauts beyond communicating with them. Consider the Apollo 13 mission on which three astronauts nearly died when a major malfunction left them with little control over the spacecraft and a bare minimum of life support for several days.

On another note, in order to leave the solar system an object must be going incredibly fast. We can get an object to go that fast, but there is no way for us to get something on such a trajectory to turn around. So anyone who left on a mission to leave the solar system could never return to Earth.

Our limited technology prevents us from reaching the stars. These limits are due to the corrupt corporatist governments, and economies of the world that are only about profits for a small plutocratic elite rather than benefiting humankind. It's been said that if tyrannical governments, and religious superstitions had not existed throughout our history we would have had the equivalent of the 20th century in the time of Jesus Christ 2000 years ago. That is if he existed of course. So by now we would probably be traversing the stars if not for the ruling elite, and religious classes who have negatively influenced humankind's destiny for greatness.

When will man walk on Kepler 62?

Never. Kepler 62 is a star, You cannot walk on a star. Kepler-62 has five known planets, but humans will probably never walk on those planets either.The Kepler-62 system is about 1200 light years away, far beyond the solar system and many orders of magnitude farther away than we have ever traveled.

What is the furthest you have rockets in space?

The furthest rockets have traveled in space are those used for missions beyond our solar system, such as the Voyager probes. Voyager 1, launched in 1977, has reached interstellar space and continues to send back data from beyond our Sun's influence.


Are aliens or humans on another planet?

As of now, there is no confirmed evidence of aliens or humans residing on another planet. While researchers are actively exploring planets and moons within our solar system and beyond for signs of life, no extraterrestrial civilizations have been discovered. Additionally, humans have only set foot on the Moon, with ongoing plans for future missions to Mars and beyond. The search for life beyond Earth continues to be a major focus of scientific inquiry.

Can you travel out of space?

as far as we know, we live in 3-Dimensional space which encompasses everything in the known universe. there is space in any dimension, so you can't get out of space, or you would not exist. if you mean run out of space, then something as large as the universe that would use up most space would probably turn into a black hole anyway.
