Will intergalactic travel ever be possible?

The technology required to travel between galaxies is far beyond humanity's present capabilities, and currently only the subject of speculation, hypothesis, and science fiction. However, theoretically speaking, there is nothing to conclusively indicate that intergalactic travel is impossible.

How close are we to interstellar space travel?

Our closest stellar neighbor is Alpha Centauri at 4.37 light-years away or a staggering 25.6 trillion miles. We have 150 neighboring stars within 20 light years of our solar system. Distances between stars are so vast that space travel at close to the speed of light is essential to make travel to the stars a reality.
