Ok, I did some math using items that will be invented around 2016 that will help us.
First off: out of our solar system, I propose we use solar sails. They uses radiation and photons from the sun to pull us along like a kite surfer. I don't know how fast it says it will go but I want to say half the speed of light which would get us to pluto in about a day. Then on pluto we could get a fuel up at a specially made station with a rare fuel(doesn't have to be real) and we can say it can get us to 75+% speed of light, which will get us to the nearest planet outside our solar system in 14, or less, years. Now that's a long time, but that would still be better than what we can do now.
I'm not saying we have to do this, but I propose it because it uses technology that will be in use by that time.
