Exactly the plot of this classic by AE van Vogt's "Far Centaurus" (1944)
It would take Voyager ~75,000 years to reach the nearest star. No doubt a spaceship that leaves earth later will arrive sooner.

This is simultaneously a tremendous achievement (one light day is really far!) and a sobering realization that the universe is an incredibly vast place. In 50 years, Voyager has traveled ~1/1500th of the distance to the nearest star (Alpha Centauri, ~4.27 light years away).

It’s evolution all the way down. Plasmid cage match is fierce. Congratulations to @baym @HarvardDBMI
Hot off the press! Our latest paper led by @fernpizza , understanding how plasmids evolve inside individual cells. These small pieces of self-replicating DNA live inside bacteria and can transfer antibiotic resistance genes, but they also compete with one another to replicate. 1/
