The ships we have made so far will get us to the Moon, Mars but not to Alpha Centari. For this new technology is needed and will come by the triumps and failures of the Luna and Mars missions. And from the bases on or above these locations, Starbases will be supply points for ongoing missions. The moon will be the first starbase that is build for resupplying spaceships. A launching point that will become mans first steps in sustainable living in space.
