I believe it is possible to propel certain particles at the speed of light but I do not think that we, humans, will ever be able to travel at or faster than this speed. I do believe that some day we will have interstellar travel but it will come about not because of some new way of propulsion but it will have to do with the bends in space. If you could get space to bend towards you, you could then traverse a much greater distance in a much shorter period of time. Whether we can ever bend space like this remains to be seen. Although a very large object does bend the surrounding space so a large enough object could bend space possibly enough, although it would more or less likely be impossible to create an object that large also remains to be seen. If you have any other suggestions I would be glad to here them.
Carpe Diem.
