Theoretically we could visit things thousands/millions of light years away within a human lifespan, but the necessary energy to do so is just infeasible. You’d have to spend half the energy slowing down at your destination so you’d need all that energy onboard. Just not happening IMO. As a bonus you’d basically also be inventing a time machine (forward only)
Interstellar travel? Like to the nearest star systems? Maybe. In the far future. But not intergalactic. Andromeda is the closest galaxy and it’s 2.5 MILLION light years away…
Probably not. Main problem is energy density.
