Unfortunately the closest star is light years away. So even if we achieve spaceships that go 99.9999999% the speed of light the distance would still be impractical. Also whatever we see through these telescopes happened eons ago. For all we know we are the only star that still exists. Until we can warp, there is really no way to explore this universe. Sad really, but I still keep a watchful eye of these endeavors.
No worries there. When CERN come back online, it'll create a wormhole so we can get there in seconds. What comes out the other side is another matter. (rim-shot!)

Or the Hadron Collider will go haywire and give us a direct route there.
