A practical way to travel between the stars is a must-have for space opera, and a sine qua non for our frequently vaunted future as a galactic society.
Sentiment: POSITIVE

If you love epic space opera, you shouldn't miss 'Interstellar'.
Stars are extremely far apart. We cannot imagine any way currently available to get to the nearest one, besides the sun.
Astronautics, strictly speaking, will be concerned with voyages to other stars. Remarkably enough, to achieve such feats, we might not even have to leave the earth. It would suffice to accelerate the sun itself to a very high speed and let it drag all its planets with it.
