Sorry. But Einstein’s Theory of General Relativity, which has been proven experimentally, has demonstrated that the speed limit for anything with mass is the speed of light. In fact if any biological or mechanical entity even approached that incomprehensible speed, its density would be so great that it would never survive as designed. The distances to the nearest star is simply too great for anything mechanical or biological to reach us or them. However given that earth has been transmitting in analog for over one hundred years and digitally for over thirty, our presence in at least fragmented forms is reaching distant stars. Eventually an alien civilization which may in turn be linked to other alien civilizations via transmissions but not physical travel, may in fact communicate in some way. However the current NASA leadership will have potentially have more success in their new found mission of reaching out to Muslims, than establishing a resource draining base on the moon. Science fiction, while it may tickle the imagination that can be stimulated in other innumerable ways, is just that. Fiction. Perhaps you may wish to sit under an apple tree on a warm autumn day and see what thoughts come to you.

Go back and read James Clerk Maxwell in the original - without him Einstein would never have happened and neither would anything else we take of the entire electromagnetic spectrum including your speed of light which in latest quantum physics experiments may not hold true.
