How Long Would It Take To Get To Alpha Centauri?

Alpha Centauri is located 4.37 light years from the Sun, making it the closest star system to our Solar System. Can we ever get there? The answer is... not easily.
A distance of 4.3 light-years equals trillions of miles away from Earth - nearly 300,000 times the distance from the Earth to the sun. How might we travel to Alpha Centauri, the next-nearest star? And how long would it take to get there?
