Traveling at 186,000 miles per second we could get to Alpha Centauri in 4 years. Current methods of space travel can do this in 40,000 years. 7 or even 10 miles per second doesn't get us anywhere.

The future of space exploration lays in antimatter rockets

There are many variations of these types of systems, the first generation will most likely be antimatter assisted plasma fusion rockets. Well, first fusion, then fusion rockets, then antimatter assisted plasma rockets and ultimately antimatter propulsion systems which will lead the way to Alpha Centauri and beyond within the next couple of centuries.
