130 million lightyears would be imposiable, And to even travel at the speed of light you would have to be particals. And what are the chances that that planet is no longer there, It took 130 million lightyears for the light from that planet to reach earth.

The light from that planet took about 25 years to reach us. There's a possibility that if that solar sail experiment that they're doing in 2009 works, we should be able to accellerate a space probe to near the speed of light once it's perfected and scaled up. Then we should be able to at least do a fly-by. It would be cool to see decent pictures of extra-solar planets in my lifetime.
