I’m wondering if interstellar travel is possible. So I guess the starting point is figuring out FTL travel.

It is not possible. Are you talking about for humans or for any particles? Unfortunately, despite science fiction, light speed will never happen. Why? Think of the speed of light as a universal “speed limit.” Matter cannot move faster than the speed of light because of the laws of the universe. Beyond your technological hold backs, light does not move through time. The faster you go through space, the slower through time you move. Time does not exist at the speed of light, because to light it is instantaneously at it’s starting point and ending point. If you have the ability to go faster than the speed of light, you have essentially created time travel, and will reverse time.
IF we were able to travel at the speed of light it would take 63,000 years to reach the nearest planet not in our solar system. So not very useful regardless. The only way to make interstellar travel doable is through a wormhole. We’d have to be lucky enough for one to be placed close enough to travel though. The movie interstellar is all about this. Unfortunately, since we are bound by our 3 dimensions (technically 4 with time) we can’t create a wormhole. Only something from a higher dimension can do this and create this passage for us. And that’s never happened before but hey crossing my fingers
