Unless we can find some better kind of rocket engines, it will always take just too long to get to even the nearest place beyond our solar system. We could send robots, and they can send back messages about what they find. But by the time the messages come back, even your grandchildren will have grown up! Some places are too tricky even for robots, like going right to the Sun.
