TL;DR

An interstellar project called Breakthrough Starshot Initiative aims to use light-powered space travel to drastically reduce the time it takes to travel across space, potentially enabling speeds of up to 100 million miles per hour. By utilizing solar sail technology and lasers, the project could make it possible to travel from our solar system to the neighboring one in just 20-30 years, a journey that currently takes 76,000 years with existing technology. The initiative hopes to inspire the next generation of young minds to make futuristic space travel a reality.
