No spaecraft will make it that far. Cosmic radiation bursts will kill off the crew, or low/no gravity will.

You do realize that someday we will develop FTL technology, artificial gravity, and ways to protect to the passengers from radiation..

No current craft. But a steerable version of Dyson’s Orion would easily overcome both problems. Was on drawing boards in the late 60s. Killed by Nixonian politics.
