Helios 2, a solar-powered spacecraft launched in the 1970s, travels at high speeds primarily due to its unique trajectory and gravitational assists. It utilized close passes to the Sun, which allowed it to harness solar gravity to gain speed, significantly increasing its velocity as it approached the Sun. Additionally, its lightweight design and efficient propulsion system contributed to its remarkable speed, enabling it to reach velocities of over 157,000 miles per hour (approximately 252,792 kilometers per hour).

How fast do you need to be to travel 4 light years in one hundred years?
The speed of light is 299,792,458 m/s. distance/speed=time. time=100 years. which is 3153600000 seconds. 4 light years is 299792458*316536000=9454254955488000 meters. So, 9454254955488000/x=3153600000. 9454254955488000/3153600000=2997924.6 m/s. That's 10,792,528.488 km/h. Just to put that in perspective, the fastest speed humans have achieved is about 250,000 km/h (Helios 2 spacecraft.)
