We're already on that starship. Our engine is about 8 lightminutes away. All we need is to figure out how to steer this thing - and how to not wreck it while en route.

I would prefer the concept of people building an artificial planet/asteroid/spaceship for a starship, instead of messing with our star system. But luckily that debate is some years away and currently we cannot even figure out, how to deal with some increased CO2 levels.
