This question is of course, hypothetical.  The mode of travel would be by a hypothetical space-craft.  I am attempting to check my facts for a Story-In-Progress.  Thanks for your help.

As everybody else noted, the theoretical space journey would take 300 years in earth terms or 298.5 years aboard ship.\n\nThis presents you for some challenges in your story-in-progress as you would need:\n\na) a long-lived character or characters like Robert Heinlein's Lazarus Long; or\n\nb) generations of people born and raised on board ship with new generations trained in running a spaceship; or\n\nc) the passengers kept in hibernation while the crew is manned by androids and advanced computers.

Trust me, the US space program was not a farce. You may have seen the old movie Capricorn 1 but that much could not have been faked. We can barely simulate weighlessness with airplane flight for a minute or two--there is no way we could simulate it lasting for days, weeks, and months. There is no way to fake the changes on the human body from prolonged weightlessness.

Walking, or any other form of non-airborne locomotion - you'd have to swim through the air\n\nCooking would be a bit complicated, everything would have to be contained. And forget a bowl of cereal.  Solid food would have to be in chunks, liquids in a pouch.\n\nCleaning up afterwards would be tough - how do you keep the hot soapy water in the sink?\n\nThink of all the things that would have to be restained from floating around as you go about your daily business.\n\nSleeping might be a bit more comfortable though, as long as you're tethered so you don't bump into walls all night long.\n\nAll in all, it would be similiar to life aboard a non-rotating space station.

You would generate a ship capable of providing a mini-ecosystem capable of sustaining a self-replicating crew.  Astronauts have kids who become astronauts down the ages until the destination is reached.  \n\nAs far as drive mechanism, currently NASA is working on finalizing an ION drive that gets stuff to its destination faster than our current thruster tech by propelling them at an increasing rate of acceleration.

It wouldn't have to go out into space to let the earth "slide by" underneath it. You'd just have to use fixed point to calculate by to prove that the helicopter has remained in the same place. Otherwise it will seem that it has flown very slowly from Sussex to Scotland.\n\nGood old Einstein's relativity wanders through here, because to someone on the grond, the helicopter would be flying away instead of staying fixed while to somebody up on the International Space Station, for example, there would be a helicopter maintaining its position relative to the ISS and "floating" over the earth.

It is possible, at about $20,000/pound to just shoot it to the sun.  Just one ton, a few barrels of nuclear sludge, would cost $40M.  \n\nAnd railgun technology, tho potentially much cheaper per pound, has a ways to go yet, more so in the research and funding than the physics.  Still won't be cheap tho.  The space elevator probably has an edge there. As well, current conventional space craft approaches with reusable launch vehicles are making great progress which will be paying off in just the next decade.\n\nAnyway, maybe someday when spaceflight is a bit more economical

no, i haven't been to space or around the world. then again, not many people have.\n\nit would be ok and all but just thinking about being out there not knowing "exactly" where you're headed. i'll pass. what if you run out of gas and your ship is stuck out there? what if you lose contact with humans on earth, how will you let them know that you need help??? but then again on the other hand, you are in space seeing everything with your own eyes. nah, i'll stick to seeing space through internet and through my dreams..i'm a lot safer in my bed dreaming...

A plane would only have to travel at approx 1000mph to go around the Earth in 24 hours.  Some supersonic jets easily travel that fast.  Throw in time for slowdowns to meet with tankers and landings to refuel.  I believe that it can be done.  I'm surprised that the government didn't have the Sr71 attempt it during its career.

Its not impractical because you have perpetual motion in space get it spinning and it will spin forever at the same speed.  No friction.  Thats the only way to do it because you can create Gravity like on startrek

On the contrary, a light beam would merely percieve that it travelled instantly inbetween origin and destination. Space would be warped to Zero distance in the direction of travel, not Zero space. I know it seems like a sleight-of-hand trick with the mathematics, but the distinction is important.

YES\n===\nEverything is relative so in relation to some other object in space, yes it would be completely stopped as the train slowed down from the impact.\n\nNO\n==\nEverything in the universe is in constant motion.

by going to space in  a rocket.

Of course, if we can dream it we can do it. There once was a time when we did not have air travel and now look at us, we have supersonic travel. It will happen one day, I hope I am around for all the cool stuff to happen.

Both could be entirely possible in theory. However the only problem comes in how to accellerate to above the speed of light, which according to Einstein is necessary to travel in time. Ont theory is to get to the highest speed possible and slingshot in a planet or stars gravitational rotation and use that to accelerate faster while using a rotational acceleration thereby accelerating to the poroper speed for it. That's sound as well, but it's hard to get funding for stuff like that and it's dangerous, because much like Back to the future and Star Trek, only nuclear fuel would provide the power necessary without adding too much weight to the vessel, and will not deplete for the radiation off a nuclear reation last for several thousand year depending on the element used.

Interesting question and one asked in various forms for several centuries.  The answer, of course, is "yes" because the logic in the way the question is framed is specious.  The act of traveling does not divide into discrete units but is an on-going process tht will eventually terminate at the wall

Absolutely! I would hope since the previous trip ended in disaster, NASA would be extra-cautious. It would be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity that I couldn't pass up.

You know that's a good question but I don't think so. With all the modern methods of travel and exploration, I don't' think there is...\n\nHave a great day..
