Number 3 is the closest.

I'm rather astounded by the number of people who voted number 2. Slower-than-light interstellar travel is well within the bounds of physics so if someone wanted to do it, it would only be a question of how long it takes to develop the technology. The only way something is forever impossible is if the laws of physics do not allow it. That is not the case with slower-than-light interstellar travel.
Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.
