You can't. Perhaps your grand children or great grand children or maybe great great grandchildren might. At he moment, March 08, 2015, even though it is possible to design an engine that would get a craft to something 20 light years away, there is no technology available that would let living organisms get there. Science fiction offers many possibilities, but hey are - so far - just ideas that can not be engineered at the moment.
