If you look at how technology has been increasing exponentially, I would say we have a fair chance of doing so given a 1000 year timeline.

It took man thousands of years to cross the ocean. It took him a couple hundred after that to take to the air. It took a matter of decades after that to get to space. It took just a few years after that to land on the moon. I think colonization of another planet could occur in 1000 years.
