What are some ways to travel in space?

While the only way up to space is via a rocket, there are two ways to come back down: via a winged vehicle, like the space shuttle or Virgin Galactic’s SpaceShipTwo, or via a capsule, like Apollo, Soyuz, and Blue Origin’s New Shepard.

Is it possible to reach the speed of light?

We can never reach the speed of light. Or, more accurately, we can never reach the speed of light in a vacuum. That is, the ultimate cosmic speed limit, of 299,792,458 m/s is unattainable for massive particles, and simultaneously is the speed that all massless particles must travel at.

What would it take to travel to interstellar space?

Most interstellar travel concepts require a developed space logistics system capable of moving millions of tons to a construction / operating location, and most would require gigawatt-scale power for construction or power (such as Star Wisp or Light Sail type concepts).

Can you hear anything in interstellar space?

You shouldn’t be able to hear anything in interstellar space, because it’s a near-perfect vacuum: There’s essentially no medium for the soundwaves to travel though, like air.

Is it possible to travel to interstellar space with a warp drive?

No. Seriously, this trip is going to take a while. Since warp drive is still just a fantasy, getting to interstellar space takes a really long time at present. Voyager 1, the first spacecraft to make it, was about 122 Astronomical Units (Earth is one Astronomical Unit, or AU from the Sun).

What is the difference between interinterstellar and interplanetary spaceflight?

Interstellar travel will be much more difficult than interplanetary spaceflight; the distances between the planets in the Solar System are less than 30 astronomical units (AU)—whereas the distances between stars are typically hundreds of thousands of AU, and usually expressed in light-years.
