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.

Surround yourself with people who are serious about being writers, and who will tell you, ‘Hey—you can do better than this.’ Who will be critical of your work, but also supportive. And who will not be competitive in a negative way. — Isabel Quintero
