Einstein's theoretical maximum speed is that of light. Scientists have speculated on designs that could reach 10% of light speed. Various theories provide for closer to light speed travel and even faster than light speed travel though for now warp speed only exists on Star Trek reruns.

Even if you could get to the planet, a radio message traveling at light speed would take over twenty years to be received and another twenty years to get a reply.
